I worked in the Hotel Continental in the very hot summer of 1976 with 3 friends. It was a glorious summer season and the sun shone endlessly, so we spent many lazy days (between work shifts!) on the beach. We danced into the early ...Read more

In the picture we can see the 14th-century Castle Inn on the right and Bodiam Stores on the left. The scene is similar today, but the shop is now a tearoom.
Midway along the range of buildings on the left we can see the 'Coal' sign which stood above Riches' shop.
Looking across the bowling green, we can see the Publix Cinema. It is showing 'Jungle Jim' starring Johnny Weissmuller, ex-Tarzan, and features the yet-to-be-famous Superman actor, George Reeves.
On the wide pavement, centre right, we can see the small office which was used by the bus inspectors.
We can see the front of the former Market Hall of 1863 on the right.
As we look toward West Pier from the west, we see the landward pavilion at the right, then the tower of the Metropole to its left. Nearer the camera are a range of somewhat disparate stucco fronts.
We can see the coffee house at this date. A tram moves towards the cross. The photographer is standing close to Hare Lane, out of shot on the left.
We can see the round tower added by King John, and the back of the famous John of Gaunt Gateway; the Ashton Memorial, looking like St Paul's in London, stands out from the murk of Lancaster behind
As we look southwards from the Hele stone, through the middle arch, we can see the tallest stone of the inner horseshoes of trilithons.
Here in South Street we see the late 15th-century Canon Gate which leads into the cathedral precincts.
Can you see the two motor bikes and sidecars in our photograph? These were very popular in the inter-war years with young people, for they were a cheap form of transport.
Here we see the Gloucester and Sharpness steam packet office outside Warehouse Number 1 on the left.
Here we see the keep-gatehouse, which is thought to have been built around 1300; the view shows the two small towers at the rear of the structure.
We can see the Crown Hotel towards the end of the road on the left.
To the left we can see the roof of St Peter's.
There were still substantial remains of All Saints' parish church on the cliff top above the beach tents when this photograph was taken; here we see the tower and nave.
On the extreme right we can see the start of the building of Khyber Pass, the new road leading up West Cliff.
In this quintessential village scene, we see the village bobby standing next to the red telephone box, with a café selling ice creams behind.
Here we see the heart of what many claim is Kent's prettiest village: the tower of its 15th-century flintstone church of St Mary's looks down on this spacious square lined with half-timbered Tudor and
Here we see the river bridges and Nag's Head island, which separates the main river on the right and the back water on its left.
Here, looking down Main Street towards St Mary's Church with its horse mounting steps, we see the white Imperial Cottage (left). The chestnut tree has been removed, giving a view of Jubb's Farm.
In the foreground we see the railings of both the school and the churchyard of the parish church, both of which were removed during the collection of wrought iron in the Second World War.
Around the charming green we can see the old school (centre), later a billiard hall, now restored as a private house. Behind are High Hall and the Temperance Hall (1910).
Here we see the upper reaches, and the surface weed indicates a lack of commercial use. Note the telegraph poles on the left, once a regular sight alongside canals.
