Coast of Conflict looks principally at the south Kent coast from Napoleonic times until WW1. But our martial history stretches much further back.
Desribed by English Heritage as the most significant Roman site in Britain, Richborough Fort tells the story of the entire 500 years of Roman occupation.
Welcome to Coast of Conflict, named after my first book, published in 2004. It is a history of south Kent from Napoleonic times to the First World War. In 2008 this was followed by Dover and Folkestone during the Great War. During my researches I accumulated a great deal of material and my aim here is to make this material widely available. Most of it will be freely accessible, usually as a PDF, subject to the usual respect for copyright. In some cases there will be a nominal charge. Just use the navigation points at the top of the page to access the period in which you are interested. I hope that you will find something of interest here. If you do, please let me know. If you have something you would like to add to the site, again drop me a line at: michael@coastofconflict.com To buy a copy of Coast of Conflict or Dover and Folkestone during the Great War click the Amazon link below.
