[edit] Chat up lines
At grid reference TQ755720 there is a roundabout and beside this roundabout stands a memorial stone with the following inscription:
The Upchat Road built by Royal Engineer units under the direction of the Royal School of Military Engineering, 52 Field Squadron (Airfields) RE, Eastern Command Plant Troop RE. 1965-1967

[edit] Stones
See London Stones. I reckon that:
- the City of London purchased the rights to the Medway as well as the Thames from Richard Gare de Lyon circa 1197
- it was not so much charter rights of London fishermen but a tax upon local fishermen
- the London Stones in Upnor mark the downstream limit of the City's rights. But how far upstream did those rights go?
Can anyone clarify? -- RHaworth 03:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
