Grand Hotel, Littlestone, 1963
A Memory of Littlestone-on-Sea.
I remember attending my aunt's 21st Birthday Party at the Grand Hotel in 1963. I was 3 years old. They had strung a fishing net from the ceiling of the ballroom and filled it with balloons. Every now and again one of the balloons would get loose and float down to the dance floor where the people would do their best to stamp on it. I loved balloons and my cousin and I collected up the pieces of the broken balloons hoping to put them back together. Imagine my dismay when - at the end of the night - the net was released and ALL the balloons came down at once to the accompaniment of much stamping.

It was the Grand Hotel from when it opened until about 1946, when it changed to Pope's Hotel. In the 1950s it was renamed the Ferry Hotel.
