Living 52 Church Road, St Leonards on Sea 1899.The Rye River Barges by Leopold Vidler Inning of The Marshes We thus come to the conclusion that the type probably became specialised sometime in the fifteenth century; so we will now consider the progress that had been made in the innings of the marshlands adjoining the navigable rivers, at this date.Down to 1287, as long as the Limen river entered the sea at New Romney, little land besides Romney Marsh proper, to the east ofthe river, had been inclosed; but when the storm in that year had closed Romney Haven and forced this river to join up with the Rother and enter the sea at Rye, the innings of marshes,despite the opposition of the maritime interests, proceeded apace.By 1500, the innings had reached East Guldeford, opposite Rye,and the reduction of the tidal waters, that had previously flowed over these flats, with the consequent smaller outflow on the ebb, caused the gradual silting up of the river, of which wehear so many complaints in the succeeding centuries.One of the first problems to be met was the division of the stream by the Isle of Oxney, one channel flowing to the northpast Smallhythe, the Port of Tenterden, through Appledore, Stoneand Iden, where it joined the other channel, which coming from Newenden turned to the south-east at Knelle, and passed to thesouth of the Island, through Blackwall to Iden.There can be no doubt of the disturbance caused by the tidal waters flowing up and down these two channels, to bothnavigation and drainage, and as the northern channel was of thegreater importance to trade, a dam was erected at Knelle in 1528. This closed the southern channel, which, for the future,sewed into the main river through Scots float Sluice in Playden ´┐¢the northern channel was closed and the southern reopened in 1636.
