Near to Blackwall Bridge.
Blackwall Bridge Blackwall is the name of an old sea wall constructed in the 16th century to prevent the tidal waters of the Rother entering into this part of the Wittersham Levels. Between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries the Rother ran north of the Isle of Oxney but problems with silting caused the dam at the south western end of Oxney to be deliberately breacjed in 1635 and allow the river to follow its present course. The bridge takes the road from Wittersham to Flackly Ash over the river.
