It's Still There After All These Years...
This photograph from 1887 shows a post in the middle of the picture, standing upright in the sea - to this day it is still there. As a child it was always a point at which I arranged to meet with my brother, or my mum if I wandered off whilst on the beach. Growing up in Broadstairs was just the best place for a child to start life - we had great freedom, a great place to play and a beautiful, historic town - a privilege.

RE: RE: It's Still There After All These Years...
We enjoyed a family holiday in Broadstairs around 1956, and I still have photographs of myself fishing in the little rock pools where I caught a starfish which I kept for a few hours in a tin bucket which accompanied us to the cafe in York Gate. No Health and Safety worries in those days.
