WORLD WAR 1 PRISON
THE 1ST WORLD WAR
During the First World War 1914/18 a secret "Q" port by the banks of the River Stour was the starting point of a ferry service for troops and munitions to France and Flanders. Camps were occupied by thousands of soldiers who were taken by day or by night across the North Sea and the Channel to Dunkirk and Calais.
The chosen spot for the hidden port was under the Roman fortress of Richborough; and a railway was constructed from the main line which passes underthe Saxon walls to the banks of the Stour. The river mouth was dredged; and a new port of embarkation was created. The camp was constructed in the marshlands on both sides of the river.
Most of the work undertaken by the Royal Engineers and much of the equipment and arms for the Ypres Salient were sent across from Richborough Port, using sea going barges and the very first roll-on roll-off ferries.
BETWEEN THE WARS
After the end of the war the port silted up, the Quay was deserted, and the mile of camps lay derelict. Some years later, the area was sold by the Government to a combined industrial enterprise of Dorman Long, one of the biggest steel firms in the Kingdom, and Pearsons, a big contracting firm who had carried out major constructions in many parts of the world.
They made plans for the development of light industries on a large scale, using the camp, the railway, the river water, and the Kent coal for power but the plan did not get off the ground.
Richborough Refugee Camp
For nearly twenty years the Richborough Camp was not used until the end of the year 1938, when Sandwich received more than 5000 Jewish and political refugees from from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, driven out by Nazi persecution.
THE 2ND WORLD WAR

At the end of August, 1939, Britain was at war with Germany and a large majority of the men in the camp volunteered and eventually were accepted for service in and attached to the British forces.

MEDIEVAL RECULVER TOWERS
มุมมอง 252หลายเดือนก่อน
The imposing twin towers of the medieval church at Reculver dominate the skyline of Herne Bay, acting as a navigation marker for ships at sea. This was the site of one of the earliest Roman forts built against Saxon raids on the 'Saxon Shore'. It later became the site of an Anglo-Saxon monastery before becoming the parish church for Reculver. The tall towers were built in a remodelling of the c...
SECRET WAR TIME TUNNELS
มุมมอง 237หลายเดือนก่อน
Originally constructed as a railway to connect the harbour of the town with the main train line, Ramsgate Tunnels are two and a half miles long and in some places are as much as 27 metres below the surface. The largest of the tunnels, dates back to October 1863, when it was opened as a railway tunnel serving Ramsgate Harbour Station. The line closed in 1926, when the current Ramsgate station op...

Take some fixing up but brilliant view.
Back when Polaris build good stuff !
Wow! it's a beautiful video, the drone shots and panning make it unique. However, I would like to make a few suggestions. As a viewer, I would like a voice-over about the location, Geographic & Historic background. You could also add the titles and, subtitles & transitions for a smoother flow.💖
Thanks for the tips!
Excellent video. I loved watching.

Totally agree with you.
ИЛ-2 круче будет))
It's aircraft like the Hurricane and P-40 War(Kitty)Hawk that bore the brunt if the war...not because they were the "best"...because they were "there" and in production from the beginning...If you flew them to their strengths, and your enemie's weaknesses...you had a good chance of coming out on top...
I agree with you, shame they don’t get the credit they deserve.
Is it not a supermarine spitfire
Please see description.
I’ve had time to read all comments and yes you are right. Thanks for pointing it out. 👍🏻
Those were an amazing aircraft.

@@raulfernandez9371 lo se ,te decía que de la torre y Urdaneta dieron la vuelta al mundo antes que ninguna otra nacion , Elcano fue el primero ,Magallanes murió en el viaje y no lo completo, España dío la primera ,segunda y tercera, incluso existe documentación para una cuarta, antes de 1540, sabes que los ingleses propagan y mienten con Drake que dio la vuelta al mundo entre 1577 y 1580 y su propaganda dice que fue el primero , en esa fecha el mundo estaba cartografiado por España.
I wasn't aware that the CofE worshipped the nine divines.

Es el galeón Andalucía ,de España.
Nice little castle, but how would they fight the French if they just hid in there waiting to get burnt out, maybe sea was closer then and it had cannons for incoming ships. Does not seem to get many visitors apart from sheep. Nice footage.
I would love to own this ship. It’s bigger than people think.
I loved when I saw the airshow last year when I went on holiday. I was in Blackpool
How’s ife?-gorgeous footage~ ✨
Tottaly not me forgetting it’s the coronation
