Ebbs Fleet, Kent
Historical Description
Ebbs Fleet, a hamlet in Minster parish, Kent, on the coast, near the river Stour, half a mile W of the shore of Pegwell Bay, and 3½ miles SW by W of Ramsgate. It formerly stood on a channel, now partly filled up, which went round the S side of Thanet, and formed the shortest water route to the Thames; it was the Ipyids-flete of the Saxons, and it was the landing-place of Hengist and Horsa in 449, and of St Augustine in 156.
