	The River Medway
		Ever since I first swam in it, about 30 years ago, the River Medway has been my favourite piece of fresh water and these pages are my attempt to document as much of it as possible, they are also being used as a test area for my HTML experiments, so 'expect the unexpected'..
		The river is (obviously) tidal until the first lock and sluice at Allington, and these pages don't, at the moment, cover the tidal section in any detail.
		The tributaries : the rivers Len, Loose, Buelt, Teise, Shode and Eden.

		For most of its life the river remains almost silent as it winds its slow way from one side of the county to the other.

	Upper Thames River Conservation Authority
		The course of the Medway at the east end of Gainsborough Road and the west end of Windermere Road has been known historically as “Dead Horse Canyon.” The valley has a diversity of ecosystems and many Carolinian species of plants which normally would be found in more southern regions.
		The Medway Valley is an ancient spillway carved by glacial meltwater through the Arva moraine, which was deposited by two glaciers pushing against each other 10,000 to 20,000 years ago.
		The river meanders across the spillway, continually eroding its banks and exposing horizontal layers 3 to 5 metres thick of stony mud (till, formed at the foot of the glacier), laminating mud (glacial lake bottom), sand and gravel (floors of glacial tunnels).

		The works were needed to avoid further erosion of the bank which was threatening to undermine the brick floodwall and expose large parts of the town's retail and commercial areas being exposed to increased risk of flooding.
		Another section of river bank in Tonbridge has also recently been identified as being at risk from erosion and is consequently in need of stabilisation works.
		Further downstream of Tonbridge, in more rural locations, extensive stabilisation works have been carried out to badly eroding lengths of river bank which were threatening closure of the riverside footpath and were deemed to be a public safety issue.

		The 14th century ragstone bridge across the river Medway at East Farleigh is generally reckoned to be the oldest medieval bridge in south-east England.
		At it's southern end the road curves through forty-five degrees which, together with the hump of the bridge itself, creates problems for cars coming across the bridge, which is not wide enough for two vehicles to pass on it.
		Instead, Fairfax sent his men round the town, crossing the river Medway by way of East Farleigh Bridge and then swooping up from the south to win the day.
