History
Early history
Archaeological finds indicate that people either settled in or passed through the area during the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age eras. The Neolithic (from Greek νεολιθικός — neolithikos from νέος neos, "new" + λίθος lithos The term Bronze Age refers to a period in human cultural development when the most advanced Metalworking (at least in systematic and widespread use included techniques for This article is about the archaeological period known as the Iron Age for the mythological Iron Age see Ages of Man. It is traditionally believed that the beach fronting what is now Deal and Walmer was the site of the initial Roman landings in 55 and 54 BC. Ancient Rome was a Civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC [1] The absence of definitive records and changes in the topography of the area has made it impossible to prove the true landing site, although it was very probably in this area. [2] The villages of Deal and Mongeham were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, which listed them as "Addelam" and "Mundingeham" respectively. The Domesday Book (ˈduːmzdeɪ bʊk also known as Domesday, or Book of Winchester) was the record of the great survey [3] Walmer and Sholden are not mentioned in the book, although the Domesday Monachorum (an ecclesiastical survey made at about the same time) has an entry for "Wealemere", which may be Walmer church. In Saxon times, Deal was held by the canons of St Martin. It then passed to Dover Priory on its founding in 1136, and later to Christ Church Canterbury. The Priory of St Mary the Virgin and St Martin of the New Work or Newark, commonly called Dover Priory, was a Priory at Dover, [4]
During early mediaeval times, the population of Deal began to grow faster than the other three villages as more of its inhabitants where able to find employment in fishing. The village fishermen built rough shelters on the shingle beach, which was steadily growing seawards. A shingle beach is a Beach which is armoured with Pebbles or small to medium sized cobbles Their pathway from the village to the sea, trodden for centuries, later became known as Church Path, which is still in existence for much of its length. It started at the village centre, opposite St Leonard's church, and passed eastwards to the sea, crossing the marshy wastelands between. The carriage of some goods and passengers across the Channel occurred via Deal, although most went via Dover and Sandwich. Dover is a town and major ferry port in the county of Kent, England. A sandwich is a food item made of two or more slices of Bread with one or more layers of a filling By the mid-14th century, Deal and Walmer had become "limbs" of Sandwich in the Cinque Ports organisation, and had to provide the King with ships during times of war. Cinque Ports is also the name of a 1703 Galleon (ship The Confederation of Cinque Ports (sɪŋk pɔrts is a historic series of coastal [4]
By the 16th century, Deal's shingle beach had grown to produce a barrier between the sea and the low-lying marshland. The marshland was then able to be drained, and agricultural output increased. The growth of the beach also led to an increase in shipping in the area. The harbours at Sandwich and Dover were becoming blocked by shingle and were unable to be used by larger ships. During unfavourable weather, ships instead began to use the Downs, an area of sheltered sea between Deal and a sandbank 6 miles (9. 7 km) east, known as the Goodwin Sands. The Goodwin Sands are a 10-mile long Sand bank in the English Channel, lying six miles east of Deal in Kent, England. This provided further employment for village inhabitants, who supplied the ships lying in the Downs with stores, fresh water and sometimes emergency equipment. Buildings began to appear on the newly created land by the sea, at first for businesses servicing ships, and later for residential purposes as well. After the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s, the three manors of Deal, Deal Prebend, Court Ash and Chamberlain's Fee, passed to the King. Deal Prebend and Court Ash were granted to the Archbishop of Canterbury; Chamberlain's Fee was kept, and in 1599 passed into private ownership. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the chief bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the [5]
Maritime history
The proximity of Deal's shoreline to the notorious Goodwin Sands has made its coastal waters a source of both shelter and danger through the history of sea travel in British waters. The Goodwin Sands are a 10-mile long Sand bank in the English Channel, lying six miles east of Deal in Kent, England. The Downs, the water between the town and the sands, provides a naturally sheltered anchorage. The Downs are a Roadstead or area of sea in the southern North Sea near the English Channel off the east Kent Coast, between the An anchor is an object often made out of metal that is used to attach a ship to the bottom of a body of water at a specific point This allowed the town to become a significant shipping and military port in past centuries despite the absence of a harbour, with transit of goods and people from ship to shore conducted using smaller tender craft. A harbor or harbour (see spelling differences) or haven, is a place where ships may shelter from the Weather or are stored A ship's tender, usually referred to as a tender, is a Boat, or a larger ship used to service a Ship, generally by transporting people and/or supplies Deal was, for example, visited by Nelson and was the first English soil on which James Cook set foot in 1771 on returning from first voyage to Australia. Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson 1st Viscount Nelson 1st Duke of Bronté, KB (29 September 1758– 21 October 1805 was a British Captain James Cook FRS RN ( – 14 February 1779) was an English Explorer, Navigator and The anchorage is still used today by international and regional shipping, though on a scale far smaller than at other times in the past (some historical accounts report hundreds of ships being visible from the beach). Shipping is physical process of Transporting goods and Cargo.
By the time Dickens came to Deal it had been largely forgotten how the government of 1784, under Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger (who was staying at nearby Walmer Castle, and was later to be appointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports in 1792), ensured that the Deal boats were all set ablaze, suspecting some of the Deal luggers of being engaged in smuggling. William Pitt the Younger (28 May 1759 &ndash 23 January 1806 was a British politician of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Walmer Castle was built by Henry VIII in 1539&ndash1540 as an artillery Fortress to counter the threat of invasion from Catholic France and Spain The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports is a ceremonial official in the United Kingdom. Year 1792 ( MDCCXCII) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Leap year A lugger is a type of small Sailing vessel setting lugsails on two or more masts and perhaps lug Topsails. Pitt had awaited an opportunity that January, when the boats were all 'hoved up' on the beach on account of bad weather, to send a regiment of soldiers to smash and burn them. A naval cutter was positioned offshore to prevent any of the boatmen escaping. When used in a nautical sense a cutter is a small single-masted vessel Fore-and-aft rigged with two or more Headsails a Bowsprit, and
The boatmen's ancestors had the right, under charter, freely to import goods in return for their services as Cinque Port men in providing what had been long recognised as the sole naval defence of the realm. Cinque Ports is also the name of a 1703 Galleon (ship The Confederation of Cinque Ports (sɪŋk pɔrts is a historic series of coastal These men continued to risk their lives and their boats, in saving the lives of shipwreck victims.
The irrepressible spirit of the Deal boatmen remained undaunted by these events throughout the Napoleonic Wars, and they continued to assert their hard-earned right to trade. The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815 involved Napoleon's French Empire and a shifting set of European allies and opposing coalitions
From these activities news of the events unfolding in France would reach England quickly and regularly, with about 400 men making a living of off Deal beach at that time. The war only made the boatmen’s efforts more profitable, so that afterwards the Government immediately turned a part of its naval blockade into a coastal blockade, which lasted from 1818 to 1831. A blockade is any effort to prevent supplies Troops information or aid from reaching an opposing force
Deal had a naval shipyard which provided Deal with much of its trade. On the site of the yard there is now a building originally used as a semaphore tower, and later used as a coastguard house, then as a timeball tower, which it remains today, and as a museum. Deal Timeball is a Victorian maritime Greenwich Mean Time signal located on the roof of a waterfront four-storey tower in the coastal town of Deal, in Kent Besides this and the Deal Maritime Museum, there is no museum of the town's history yet, though a campaign to start one is ongoing - Deal's history is told at Dover Museum instead. For museums in any other town or city named Dover see Dover (disambiguation.
Royal Marines
The first home of the Royal Marines in Kent was established at Chatham in 1755. The Royal Marines ( RM) are the marine corps and amphibious Infantry of the United Kingdom and along with the Royal Navy Because of its proximity to the continent and the fact that it possessed a thriving naval dockyard, Deal has been closely associated with the corps ever since its foundation. Records from the old Navy yard at Deal exist from 1658 and show that Marines from Chatham and Woolwich were on duty in Deal, and quartered in the town, until the Deal depot was established in 1861.
Deal Barracks has become known over its long history as the Royal Marine School of Music, the barracks at Walmer consisting of the North, East and South (or Cavalry) barracks, and all were constructed shortly after the outbreak of the French revolution. Walmer is a town in the district of Dover, Kent in England: located on the coast the parish of Walmer is 6 miles (10 km north-east of Dover
Part of the South barracks was used from 1815 as the quarters for the 'blockade men', drafted against a threat of local smuggling. The South barracks became a coastguard station thereafter, and this duty continued until 1840.
It was the East barracks which accommodated the School of Music, until the Royal Naval School of Music was formed at Plymouth in 1903, but which moved to Deal in 1930, replacing the original depot band formed in 1891. Thus the institution became known as the Royal Marine School of Music in 1950.
During 1940, at St Margarets Bay, close to Deal, the Royal Marines Siege Regiment came into being and manned cross-channel guns for most of the remainder of the war. During the Second World War, cross-Channel guns were long-range Coastal artillery pieces placed on the English Channel coasts of Kent, England

Lifeboats
Piers
The seafront at Deal has been adorned with three separate piers in the town's history. Over two thousand ships are believed to have been wrecked on the Goodwin Sands, and the masts of several wrecks are visible from the shore at low tide A pier is a raised Walkway over water supported by widely spread Piles or pillars. The first, built in 1838, was designed by Sir John Rennie. Sir John Rennie (b 30 August 1794 in England &ndash d 3 September 1874) was the second son of engineer John Rennie After its wooden structure was destroyed in an 1857 gale, it was replaced by an iron pier in 1864. A popular pleasure pier, it survived until the Second World War, when it was struck and severely damaged by a torpedoed Dutch ship, the Nora, in January 1940. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Year 1940 ( MCMXL) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display the full 1940 calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

The present pier, designed by Sir W. Halcrow & Partners, was opened on the 19th November 1957 by Prince Phillip. Constructed predominantly from concrete-clad steel, it is 1026ft (311m) in length (the same length, as a notice announces, as the RMS Titanic!), and ends in a three-tiered pier-head, featuring a cafe, bar, lounge, and fishing decks. Concrete is a construction material composed of Cement (commonly Portland cement) as well as other cementitious materials such as Fly ash and Slag Steel is an Alloy consisting mostly of Iron, with a Carbon content between 0 Construction The Titanic was a White Star Line ocean liner built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland The lowest of the three tiers is underwater at all but the lowest part of the tidal range, and has become disused. The pier is a popular sport fishing venue. Recreational fishing, also called sport fishing, is Fishing for Pleasure or Competition.
Deal's current pier is the last remaining fully-intact leisure pier in Kent. KENT (1400 AM) is a Radio station broadcasting a Adult Standards/MOR format Its structure was extensively refurbished and repaired in 1997, with work including the replacement of much of the concrete cladding on the pier's main piles.
Work began in April 2008 to construct a new pier-head with a modern restaurant. Work is expected to take about 20 weeks, meanwhile the pier remains open but with no toilet facilities or cafe[1].
Museums
Deal has several museums, all are related to Deal's maritime history. Both Deal Castle and Walmer Castle are operated by English Heritage - Deal has a display on the events in the reign of Henry VIII that led to the invasion threat which caused its construction, along with some material on its subsequent history, whereas displays at Walmer concentrate on Walmer's post-Tudor role as the Lord Warden's residence. The Deal Maritime and Local History Museum[2], as the name suggests, has exhibits of boats, smuggler galleys and model naval ships. A galley (from Greek γαλέα - galea is an ancient Ship which can be propelled entirely by human oarsmen, used for Warfare This article is concerned primarily with static models For operating models see Model yachting or Radio-controlled boat, Ship models or It also contains extensive histories of the lifeboats as well as local parish registers. The Timeball Tower Museum, on the other hand, focuses on the importance of timekeeping for ships, and the role the building it occupies played. Deal Timeball is a Victorian maritime Greenwich Mean Time signal located on the roof of a waterfront four-storey tower in the coastal town of Deal, in Kent
Notable references
During the 19th century, Charles Dickens was to comment on the character of the East Kent boatmen, and on one of his visits to Deal (later used for an episode in Bleak House) he wrote:
| “ | These are among the bravest and most skilful mariners that exist. Deal is a Town in Kent, England. It lies on the English Channel eight miles north-east of Dover. Let a gale rise and swell into a storm, and let a sea run that might appal the stoutest heart that ever beat; let the light ships on the sands throw up a rocket in the darkness of the night; or let them hear through the angry roar the signal guns of a ship in distress, and these men spring up with activity so dauntless, so valiant and heroic, that the world cannot surpass it. . . . For this and the recollection of their comrades, whom we have known, whom the raging sea has engulfed before their children’s eyes in such brave efforts whom the secret sand has buried, let us hold the boatmen in our love and honour, and be tender of the fame they well deserved | ” |
Earlier descriptions of Deal were much less favourable, with the town notorious in the 17th century as a location for smugglers. Daniel Defoe wrote of the town:
| “ | If I had any satire left to write, Could I with suited spleen indite, My verse should blast that fatal town, And drown’d sailors’ widows pull it down; No footsteps of it should appear, And ships no more cast anchor there. Daniel Defoe (1659/1661 — April 24, 1731 was an English Writer, Journalist, and Pamphleteer, who gained enduring fame for The barbarous hated name of Deal shou’d die, Or be a term of infamy; And till that’s done, the town will stand A just reproach to all the land |

Diarist Samuel Pepys recorded several visits to the town, being moved on 30 April 1660 [3] to describe it as "pitiful".

In fiction
Dickens, who had visited the town (see Notable References to Deal), had Richard Carstone garrisoned here in chapter XLV of Bleak House, so that Woodcourt and Esther's paths can cross when Woodcourt's ship happens to anchor in the Downs at the same time as Esther and Ada are visiting Richard:
| “ | At last we came into the narrow streets of Deal, and very gloomy they were upon a raw misty morning. Deal is a Town in Kent, England. It lies on the English Channel eight miles north-east of Dover. Bleak House is the ninth Novel by Charles Dickens, published in twenty monthly installments between March 1852 and September 1853 The long flat beach, with its little irregular houses, wooden and brick, and its litter of capstans, and great boats, and sheds, and bare upright poles with tackle and blocks, and loose gravelly waste places overgrown with grass and weeds, wore as dull an appearance as any place I ever saw. The sea was heaving under a thick white fog; and nothing else was moving but a few early ropemakers, who, with the yarn twisted round their bodies, looked as if, tired of their present state of existence, they were spinning themselves into cordage.
But when we got into a warm room in an excellent hotel and sat down, comfortably washed and dressed, to an early breakfast (for it was too late to think of going to bed), Deal began to look more cheerful. Our little room was like a ship's cabin, and that delighted Charley very much. Then the fog began to rise like a curtain, and numbers of ships that we had had no idea were near appeared. I don't know how many sail the waiter told us were then lying in the Downs. The Downs are a Roadstead or area of sea in the southern North Sea near the English Channel off the east Kent Coast, between the Some of these vessels were of grand size—one was a large Indiaman just come home; and when the sun shone through the clouds, making silvery pools in the dark sea, the way in which these ships brightened, and shadowed, and changed, amid a bustle of boats pulling off from the shore to them and from them to the shore, and a general life and motion in themselves and everything around them, was most beautiful. An East Indiaman was a Ship operating under charter or licence to the Honourable East India Company. |

In Jane Austen's Persuasion, chapter 8, the town is mentioned as the only place where Admiral Croft's wife Sophia Croft was ever ill, as it was the only place she was ever separated from him, whilst he was patrolling the North Sea:
| “ | The only time I ever really suffered in body or mind, the only time that I ever fancied myself unwell, or had any ideas of danger, was the winter that I passed by myself at Deal, when the Admiral (Captain Croft then) was in the North Seas. Jane Austen (16 Persuasion is Jane Austen 's last completed novel She began it soon after she had finished Emma, completing it in August 1816 The North Sea is a marginal, Epeiric sea of the Atlantic Ocean on the European Continental shelf.
