Description

Postcard of Tower Parade, Herne Bay, Kent, England, by Fred C Palmer. The photo was taken from the pier, and shows the beach east of the pier. The clothes worn by the people suggest a date 1910-1914.

Points of interest
  • Between the clock tower and the buildings, Reculver can be seen in the background, still having the metal superstructures on the towers.
  • Hoys (small boats) are still in use for fishing and for giving rides to tourists.
  • Everyone is overdressed by 21st century standards; no-one swims; children can only paddle in their formal clothes.
