Sorry grandarog, but I have not felt able to join in for sometime because subjects have either too many based in East Kent or too narrow in their subject matter. Being a West Kent person who has rarely travelled to the eastern half I am excluded from taking part as a result.

Hi Lutoman

I'll make sure my next one is in your neck of the woods  :)

Not National Trust.
It's going to cost you quite a lot if you want to visit.

That does seem confusing. I remember some clueless guy sailing round the island several times thinking he would get to Brighton or somewhere if he kept the shore on one side...
Looks interesting down there though. I'm hoping to walk that bit of the Saxon Shore way at some point.

Bang on Jackie.  Over to you.

It is indeed the Lillies, and the smaller blacked out name is Lily Creek.  One little fact I meant to mention: it is here that the direction of buoyage changes.  As you travel west along The Swale, red cans are on your left (port) and green cones on your right (starboard), however once past The Lillies red cans are to your right, and green cones to your left.  Confuses trainee sailors like mad!

The map is the OS 6" County Series published between 1830s-1880s.  This particular sheet is Kent XXI, Surveyed: 1865, Published: 1869.  Pulling out slightly and with no blanking:

Is it The Lilies?
The Swale at Kemsley Mill.
Not much sign of the Coastguard Station. Perhaps a suggestion of a slipway.
