Thanet, where it is joined by the Lesser Stour. 

 This river rises in the grounds appertaining to 

 Bourne-place, and being increased by the waters 

 of Nailbourn, passes Bridge-place, Patricks- 

 borne, to the archiepiscopal palace at Bekes- 

 borne. It thence flows on to Lee House, to 

 Wickham, and, when opposite to Wenderton, 

 is joined by a stream flowing from Wingham, 

 where the river proceeds until it joins its 

 current with that of the Greater Stour, which 

 it encounters in its course round the Isle of 

 Thanet. 



There are very large and fine trout caught in 

 the Stour, weighing eight and nine pounds ; 

 and some have been occasionally taken of 

 twenty pounds weight. 



The Bother rises at Gravel-hill, in Sussex, 

 and enters Kent in the parish of Sandhurst, 

 and flows into the sea at Rye Harbour. It 

 contains very good trout in many parts of its 

 course, and in the months of May and June, a 

 good day's sport may be obtained, if the waters 

 are in fair trim.
