| Notes: | Original description for this photograph was “Boxhill/ Christ Church. Boats at harbour, one of the boats is called Betsy”. Research by our Flickr Commons users identified this location as the Harbour at Rye, East Sussex in England, and Boxhill should be Bexhill. They found references in Dover newspapers to Betsey, a sloop sailing into and out of Rye in the 1890s, frequently transporting “beach for J. Jackson”. Transporting beach refers to pebble aggregate seen in the foreground of this photograph. It is known as Canterbury Spar, and is used for garden paths and also pebble-dash on walls.
