Keith, you're so nearly there.  The view is from the south of the Swale.  Keep thinking about Milton, you were right about the buoyage reversing, but it was nothing to do with how busy a port is.  All we need is the name of the islands.

The Swale near Conyer Creek.  Sea bed is privately owned - are the buoys related to that,  Oyster beds?

There are so many named marshes on the map so what side of what river or creek am  I on and which way am I looking?


I used to know it around here when 19 yrs old as my neighbour was a skipper on a coastal and continental barge I worked for him for quite a while after my apprenticeship in 1967 and this was the buoyage rules around Milton Port etc.

No, but the right river this time.
I've just noticed you comment on the buoyage, you're very nearly right.

 ;D Beyond the strip of water (and the mud flats) you can see grass which marks out permanent islands.  They're the ones you are looking for.

I've always known them as mudflats or there may be a posh words like salt marshes?
Depending if a certain port is a busy one the buoyage can be reversed if boats arrive from the East or West as an example?

Some low lying islands, what are they called?  Bonus if anyone can say what is uncommon about the buoyage hereabouts.

Well...you all have it really as there were some of these Lime Kilns dotted all around this area including up School Lane Wouldham but not on the banks of the Medway
They were at Borstal but this was more a Chalk Quarry.
These are Lime Kilns around Bluebell Hill area in 1905 but are at Bluebell Hill.....so MartinR arrived there first.


Over to You.....
