More about this scene
The gentleman proudly escorts three elegant ladies dressed in white; other people further back are intrigued by the crab boats, which were probably made by Leonard Lown or his son Henry. They started business in the 1860s, and the number of boats made by this firm and another called Emery's ran into hundreds. The flag poles on the hill were used for gale warnings, signals for ships and flags for special occasions such as Royal birthdays. The local flint was used for good effect on the promenade garden wall in the foreground.
