Whitstable, Harbour Street 1962

More about this scene
By the 1960s, traffic in Whitstable is beginning to get heavy. The Nelson in Harbour Street is in the centre of the photograph. Landlords here included Henry Hills, Mrs Emily Jane Parsons, and Miss L Parsons. To the right is Duffy, the butcher's. Whitstable suffered badly in the tidal surge of February 1953, when water poured over the sea wall and flooded the town. The famous Whitstable oyster beds were polluted in 1962, but they have since recovered.
