The following images are in place of yesterday’s post. They are of the Crow Stone , which stands on the foreshore at Chalkwell. Erected in 1837, it marks the seaward limit of the City of London’s jurisdiction over the River Thames. Another stone, the London Stone, stands opposite, almost due south at the mouth of Yantlet Creek on the other side of the Thames, one mile east of All Hallows. The ‘line’ connecting the two is known as the Yantlet Line. Both stones are said to mark the eastern boundary of the Port of London Authority’s jurisdiction and as such could be said to be the point which the river stops being the river and becomes the sea.
