Herne Bay.


A very nice painting I purchased from ebay, I have been trying to work out the viewpoint and the building on the right but have come to the conclusion it has been painted with quite a degree of artistic license.

Whitstable, Kent.


Nice picture, again as I remember it when young, had many a ride on the swingboats in the background.

Chestfield, Kent.

Faversham Creek


This was when the creek was in full swing and industrially, Faversham was a thriving seaport it had a very large munitions factory, fishing and oyster dredging, a large brewery, and was a large importer of timber from scandinavia, it also had a large farming industry.

The Albion


This watering hole has many memories for me, one of which was sailing down from the Medway in a 20ft dropkeel yacht, with my partner, sadly now not with us, we moored outside the pub for a week and had a great time, fresh water was obtained from the Shepherd and Neame Brewery which sits over a natural spring, the locals call it sweet water, best water I ever tasted.

This is a view today, pretty, but does not have the appeal it had even in my childhood.
