East Kent History

Correction: The earlier map is also in the British Library online gallery but its title is St Margaret's Bay. If you search for 'Walmer' you will find it. This map is a larger scale to the revised version. Points to note: It shows Upper Deal Mill, although it is not labelled, and no other windmills. Other items that help to date it are the military features, or lack of them. There is present a 'Battery' on the coast north of Sandown Castle; no Naval Yard and very few Barracks buildings in Lower Walmer.
