NEW DOVER ROAD, CANTERBURY

~ NEW DOVER ROAD ~

CANTERBURY

New Dover Road was laid out by a private Act of Parliament in 1792

The great high road, at the entrance to the city, through the late St. George's gate, from Dovor, being narrow, with several dangerous turnings, an act was obtained that year to alter the course of it entirely, by making new roads towards Dovor, in a straight line from that gate, for more than a mile and a half, through Barton Field, on each side of which several houses have been built.

The junction of Lower Chantry Lane and New Dover Road, in 1941, thank you to Paul Crampton for the use of the above photo.

Roman Antiquities under bog earth at Canterbury - Dear Sir, a large pipe drain is being laid down in Canterbury, the course of it running the whole length of the city from the houses in Barton Fields, beyond the London and Chatham Railway on the Dover Road, to the River Stour at East Bridge.

The cutting is from ten to fifteen feet deep. In one part of the inn the workmen came to a stratum of bog earth, lying at about nine feet below the pavement. On each side of the black earth, and at the same depth, remains of Roman pottery, and, apparently, Roman foundations of buildings were found. These men also dug up some ornaments for the person, and other similar things. Some of this earth I have subjected to the process of boiling in acid, and upon examining with the microscope the residue, I found various Diatomaceae, Coscinodisci Navicula, &c.
