From the bridge that carries Ramsgate Road over the river. Image of October 2013 shows the scene before the new wall along the river bank was erected. This is referred to in Dover District Council’s planning application DOV/13/00690 as the “demolition of existing boundary wall (to rear of 46 and 46A, Strand Street) fronting the River Stour and erection of new flood defence wall”. Unfortunately, the work was not completed before 5 December 2013 when a storm surge caused the river to flood parts of the town.
