TR0165 : The end of the Harty Ferry road, Isle of Sheppey
taken 14 years ago, near to Uplees, Kent, England
The end of the Harty Ferry road, Isle of Sheppey
This corner of Sheppey - Harty - has a pretty remote feel, being a good few miles by road from the bridge which links the island to the Kent mainland. Once upon a time it had a more direct link to the mainland, as the Harty ferry worked across the Swale from here to a point west of Oare Creek (at about TR 013 647), north of Faversham.
The vessel used seems to have been an oyster smack ( likely enough in this part of Kent ), and operated up until the outbreak of World War II.
