More about this scene

Appledore stands on a branch of the River?Rother close by?Romney Marsh. During the 9th century, it was an important Viking base. From here they penetrated far inland on destructive forays. More recently, Appledore became a wealthy village with its own harbour. However, in 1287 a storm changed the course of the river Rother and left the village landlocked. This picture shows the main through road, which is considerably busier today.
