Description
Herne Bay Through Time by John Clancy The seaside resort of Herne Bay has a rich history, dating back to the 1830s when a group of London investors transformed it into one of the UK's earliest seaside resorts. The addition of a pleasure pier and promenade made it a popular destination for holidaymakers, and its popularity continued to grow with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century. However, like many other seaside resorts, Herne Bay's popularity as a holiday destination declined after the Second World War, as people turned to overseas travel. In the 1990s, a major regeneration project brought new life to the seafront, including the restoration of the Victorian-era gardens and the Central Bandstand. Today, Herne Bay is slowly regaining its popularity as a holiday resort, with tourists drawn to its charm and natural beauty. The town's history is now celebrated in this book, which explores its transformation from a small Kentish village to a thriving seaside resort.
