Description

The seaside town of Broadstairs lies on the Isle of Thanet in East Kent. Situated on the cliffs above the bay, the town gained its name from the stairs that were cut into the chalk cliffs down to the shore. Fishing and smuggling were the mainstays of Broadstairs until much-improved transport connections to London in the nineteenth century led to the development of Broadstairs as a modern seaside resort. This book explores the lesser-known episodes in the history of the town, revealing tales of remarkable people, unusual events, and tucked-away or disappeared historical buildings and locations. From the country's oldest lighthouse to preserved German shell holes and other hidden gems, Secret Broadstairs delves into the fascinating history of this Kentish seaside town.
