dc.description.abstract | As major physical features of our landscape, and the location of some of our
major ports and cities, it is easy to assume that estuaries have always been of
great significance to our island nation. The examination of case studies in the
east and west of Britain suggests, however, that estuaries were only important
in certain socio-economic and political spheres, and that, particularly for the
lower levels of society they often presented a barrier to contact. The significance
of estuaries also changed over time as the nature of economic interaction and
political structures evolved. | en_GB |
