Chat up lines

At grid reference TQ755720 there is a roundabout and beside this roundabout stands a memorial stone with the following inscription:

The Upchat Road built by Royal Engineer units under the direction of the Royal School of Military Engineering, 52 Field Squadron (Airfields) RE, Eastern Command Plant Troop RE. 1965-1967

Stones

See London Stones. I reckon that:

the City of London purchased the rights to the Medway as well as the Thames from Richard Gare de Lyon circa 1197
it was not so much charter rights of London fishermen but a tax upon local fishermen
the London Stones in Upnor mark the downstream limit of the City's rights. But how far upstream did those rights go?

Can anyone clarify? -- RHaworth 03:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Upnor not Upper Upnor

It grates to hear Upnor Village referred to as Upper Upnor see Popular Map Edition. Where this originated is difficult to say Brian Matthews in 1971 used this term- but in 1991 anyone referring to Upper Upnor in Council would be corrected by the rural members. Barnard is more circumspect, and it could be that the term Upper Upnor comes from the Military Railway, which had an Upper Upnor Section (p.113 I think). The Village Sign says Upnor.

As a convention I think we should certainly refer to the village as Upnor when the context is pre 1950- but I am unsure whether, but would prefer, we should use Upnor after that date.

Anyway in the local dialect, saying U[!]uh U[!]na (where [!] is a glottal stop) is really ugly.
