Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Smallhythe Bridge The point when Smallhythe met what was then the mile-wide River Rother. Between the 14th and 16th centuries a flourishing shipbuilding industry was based here, using the wood from nearby Wealden forests to build warships for the Kings of England. Henry V, Henry VII and Henry VIII as late as 1538 all built major warships here. However, the Rother estuary's silting caused partly by marsh inning further up the river led to the silting up of the northern branch of the Rother and its rerouting south of the Isle of Oxney in 1635. All that remains today of the Rother is a drainage ditch, Reading Sewer. |
