This survey records and broadly classifies current manifestations and past evidence of instability in the coastal cliffs of Kent, from Cooling, six miles E. of Gravesend, to Bonnington, behind Romney Marsh. Abandoned cliffs and some slopes just inland are also included. The survey is largely confined to cliffs composed of soft rocks, but incidental information on failures in the Chalk cliffs is given in an Addendum. The survey comprises a surface examination of the above area, guided and supplemented by a study of the geological and topographical maps and the relevant literature. Descriptions and available references are given for all the unstable areas examined, the locations of which are shown on 2 inch to 1 mile maps (black and white only).
