	Wikipedia: Thanet
		The Isle of Thanet is an area of northeast Kent, in England, that used to be separated from the mainland by the Wantsum channel.
		The first bridge over the channel was built at Sarre in 1485.
		However, the channel silted up around the 15th century, and now the so-called isle is only partially separated from the mainland by the minor rivers Wantsum and Stour.

	Wantsum Channel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wantsum Channel is the name given to a now silted-up watercourse in the English county of Kent.
		From prehistory until the Middle Ages it separated the island of Thanet at the north eastern edge of Kent from the mainland.
		The Wantsum Channel is now used as a walk, including the Wantsum Walk, the Saxon Shore Way and the Stour Valley Walk.

	The Great Stour Project
		During the Tertiary period forces associated with the formation of the Alps in southern Europe produced a series gentle flexures in the Cretaceous sediments, forming the Wealden anticline and Thames Basin.
		Superimposed upon the larger structures are smaller scale folds such as the Wantsum syncline and the Thanet pericline in north-east Kent.
		In north-east Kent, it is buried under a cover of recent sediments in the Wantsum Channel, to reappear in the Isle of Thanet before it’s final descent in the Thames Estuary.

	Lydden Valley Research Group: History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As the spit moved north the Lydden Valley filled with alluvium, peat and sand; this led to the development of mudflats and salt marshes.
		The process of reclamation was repeated throughout the Wantsum Channel, so by the reign of Henry VII (1485-1509) the ferry at Sarre could be replaced by a bridge.
		The last ship to use the Wantsum Channel sailed from London to Sandwich in 1672, carrying bells for St. Clement's Church in the town.

		The Northern Sea Wall is a 4.4km long concrete sea wall fronted by a shingle beach and protects the low lying land of the reclaimed Wantsum channel.
		Reculver, at the western end of the management unit is a 600m long hotchpotch of concrete sea walls with little or no beach.
		It is obvious that failure of the Northern Sea Wall would lead to flooding of the old Wantsum channel as happened in 1953.

		This is especially true of Pegwell Bay and the former Wantsum Channel, where uninterrupted long views of the sea, the marshes and the attractive and undeveloped coastline exist towards Sandwich, the Ash Levels and Reculver.

	What is the name of the river that separates the Isle of Thanet from the mainlan...
		You obviously do not come from Kent, Gary, as the Island of Thanet is not seperated from the mainland now.
		In Roman times it was a real island, seperated from the rest of Kent by the mile wide stretch of water called Wantsum Channel which silted up.
		Today all that remains is the narrow course of the River Stour between Fordwich and Pegwell Bay, navigable only by boats of modest size, and the small stream River Wantsum, which enters the Thames Estuary just east of Reculver and joins the Stour south east of Sarre

		13.69 However, in Thanet, the main areas at risk of flooding are located in the former Wantsum Channel, away from the main population and service centres of the district.
		Consequently, the Council considers that the application of the precautionary principle leads to a highly restrictive approach to development in this flood risk area.
		For example, a plan of the site showing existing levels related to Ordnance Datum would help to establish the risk and depth of flooding at the site.
