At the end of Bench Street, a continuation of King Street, at the entrance to the A20 underpass, is a plaque commemorating the spot where the world’s oldest seagoing boat, the Dover Bronze Age Boat was found in 1992 some 20 feet below street level, superbly crafted in oak with yew withies to tie the planks and caulked with sphagnum and other mosses. Eight metres were successfully removed and this wonderful find is now on display in Dover Museum in a purpose-built Bronze Age Boat Gallery.
