The French government actively encouraged smuggling. Despite the war English smugglers were given free access to the French Channel ports. The French urgently required English gold coins; it is doubtful whether they could have paid their armies without the steady influx of English gold. It was estimated that about £10,000 in coin was being smuggled out of the country each week. Long rowing galleys specially for the trade were built in France, they became universally known as ‘guinea boats’. Rowed by up to twelve men they were fairly fast, by repute up to nine knots – very difficult to sight especially in the dark and, not being controlled by the wind. they could take quick evasive action” (Graham Smith) According to Bexhill’s Commmunity Land Trust in the history of the town on their website “many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828” in which two men were killed. Athough the smuggling of tea, silks, brandy and rum have (largely) passed, the trade continues in various other commodities, often drugs, but also, appallingly, people, sometimes with tragic consequences. In January 2020 a man was arreseted in Bexhill, convicted of smuggling people from Vietnam, he was part of an international trafficking network that had been operating between 2015 and 2017. Border Force coastal patrol vessels (like the one below in nearby Folkstone) cruise along this coast, intercepting boats carrying suspected migrants, people who are risking absolutley everything, to escape from persecution or war.

Unveiling the Best Places in Bexhill

Until a few years ago I was naively unaware that smuggling in the 18thC and 19thC was such a feature of this part of England, I’d always associated smuggling with the West Country but this corner of England is an obvious locality for the business given its proximity to France; it just felt inconceivable that what I saw as this lethargic settlement could ever have been involved in such an energetic and brutal trade. Although smuggling has become romanticised the reality was very different “The evil influence and power of the smuggling fraternity has been likened to that of the Mafia, such was their vice-like control in many maritime areas.” From Smuggling in the Bristol Channel 1700 – 1850, Graham Smith, Countryside Books 1989. The following quote from the same book destroys any notion of sleepy seaside fishing villages “For sheer brutality the gangs operating in Kent and Sussex were quite unsurpassed in the whole history of smuggling….They maimed and killed with a callous impunity. Nothing seemed too outrageous or dangerous for them to tackle….There has never been an adequate explanation why Kent and Sussex should produce such savage smugglers.”
