Dear List and Dot esp,
This from medieval Irish and coastal archaeologist Aidan O'Sullivan at UCD.
--Tom Herron
tom, the river medway's estuary flows into the south side of the outer
thames estuary, or the thames mouth. so
yes, both would be heavily tidally influenced, and as to rochester, dunno -
but worth pointing out that the
medway has large areas of reclamined marshlands, that would in the sixteenth
century have been wetlands - so
a modern map is neither here nor there - there are many books about the
thames.
an archaeologist who would know more would be gus milne, in the institute of
archaeology at university college
london - google him for contact details - he's done a lot of work on the
thames and its history/archaeology
regards
aidan
