The Medway Queen


Whitstables Oyster Fleet.


Here we see The Oyster Fleet at work and all on the same tack, this is 1898 according to postmark.

The Seasalter and Ham Oyster Fishermen


Seen here are the drudgers of Seasalter and Ham Oyster Fishery Company. They have landed on what I call the Long Beach in front of the oyster company.
The two master in the background could possibly be the "SPEEDWELL" which the company owned.

Swalecliffe Post Office


I am not quite sure where this post Office was in Swalecliffe, I rather suspect that it was Chestfield PO and that it was wrongly named.
