Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 35: 1351

Group of 4 barges lying at the head of Cliffe Creek. They do not appear on the 1985 or 1990 surveys. The later surveys show, however, that this area of the creek has been narrowed by consolidation of the land to the north east.

Area is now covered in deep creek mud, the barges have probably been buried or removed.

No trace of this barge or any of the group of four noted by the previous authorities could be seen on available aerial photographs when the area was surveyed from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project. This could be due to tidal and mud conditions in the creek at the time of photography. (2)
