LIMITS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.
The limits of the Port of London as at present defined commence at High-Water Mark in the River Thames
at Teddington Lock, in the County of Surrey, and extend down both sides of the River Thames to an imaginary
straight line drawn from the Pilot Mark at the entrance of Havengore Creek, in the County of Essex, to the land's
end at Warden Point, in the Isle of Sheppey, in the County of Kent, such point being the North-Western limit of
the Port of Faversham, and extend up and include both sides of the River Medway to an imaginary straight
line drawn from the South-East point of land westward of Coalmouth Creek, thence across the said River Medway
to the Westernmost point of the piece of land which forms the Eastern side of the Stangate Creek, or, in other
words, the North-West point of Fleet Marsh, and from thence in a Southerly direction to Iwade Church, in the
said County of Kent, and thence in a North-Easterly direction to Elmley Chapel in the said Isle of Sheppey, a
supposed direct line from Elmley Chapel to Iwade Church, being the Western limit of the Port of Faversham, and
the said Port of London includes the Islands of Havengore Creek aforesaid, called Potton and Rushley
Islands, and so much of the said Creek and watercourse as extends from it to the town of Rochford, and
also includes all other islands, rivers, streams, creeks, waters, watercourses, channels, harbours, docks and places
within the before-mentioned limits contained.
