Why this spot
19th to 20th century
Sheppey is better known to collectors for London Clay fossils (sharks' teeth, pyrite) than glass, but the eroding cliffs and old tips do release sea glass and pottery. Distinguish genuine old material from recent fly-tipped waste, which is a live local issue.View source →
