More about this scene
The town of Parkgate has a rather fascinating history. It started as a small, coastal hamlet occupied by a few fishermen and shrimpers. It then evolved into a bustling sea port during the 18th century, and finally, before the tide ceased to lap against the sea wall, it developed into a fashionable seaside resort. Encroaching sands and developing salt marsh put paid to both the shipping and sun-worshipping trades, and today Parkgate serves as a pleasant commuter town. However, it still retains the atmosphere of a seaside resort. The Red Lion Inn still trades on The Parade.
