Comments on map:
From chart of whole river from above Rochester to Sheerness. Exeter 18500-02 are all pretty similar, showing Queenborough as a single street, and Sheerness as a fortification without internal detail. Real interest is as a chart, not a map. Scale measured as 3.15 inches to 1 mile, i.e. 1 inch to 558 yards; this has been 'rationalised' to 1 inch to 550 yards, 1:19,800.
