illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ... 2. Hence the first portions
of the marshes to appear above low-water mark, were the highest
portions of these hills which emerged from the water in the shape
of sand or mud-banks, lying across the mouth of the bay, in a
direction parallel to the direction of the stream-line, between
Fairlight and Folkestone, like the sand and mudbanks which may be
seen at low water all along the coast between Dungeness and
Dymchurch at the present day. 3. As the deposition of the silt
continued, these sand and mud-banks increased, both in height and
length. That to the north of Romney gradually extended until it
reached the high ground of Kent, and completely closed the northern
portion of the bay at low water. That to the south of Romney
increased in like manner, but has never been able, completely, to
close the southern portion of the bay. There has always been at
least one outlet between Romney and Fairlight, by which the water
in the Bay of Apuldore and its inland branches, has found its way
to the sea at low water. 4. As soon as the opening between the
ancient island at Romney and the mainland of Kent was completely
closed at low water by the growth of the marsh, the rising tide
could only overflow the seaward edge of the marsh after the water
had risen above the level of the lowest portion of the edge, and at
the ebb the water could not flow directly seaward after the tide
had sunk below that level. In fact, the water in the northern
portion of the bay of Apuldore was caught in a trap; it could not
get to the sea over the elevated edge of the marsh, and was
therefore obliged to change its course altogether, and flow
backwards over the lowest portions of the marsh, until it fell into
the stream from Apuldore, -with which it found its way to the
sea...
