Monument record MWX43724 - Salt pans, Richborough
Summary
Salt pans first visible on the Ordnance Survey 1877 edition and also visible on the Ordnance Survey 1946 edition. The earlier mapping labelled an area to the E as salt pans, while an area to the W was wooded. The later mapping recorded the W area as containing salt pans, though the E area also appeared to contain similar features. The site was seen to be in use as an oil storage depot in 2007. It was given a monument polygon during historic mapping enhancement as part of Phase 1 of the South East Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey.
