Description

Whitstable: A Century of Change This collection of over 200 photographs and picture postcards vividly recalls the recent history of Whitstable, a town famous for its oysters. Spanning the last one hundred years, the images illustrate the many changes that have taken place in Whitstable and its surrounding villages, including people, fashions, shops, transport, and industry. The town's economy, once dominated by the oyster industry, has declined, but the spirit of its people has endured. The photographs show how floods, freezing, wartime bombing, and other challenges have shaped the town's history. Alongside everyday activities, entertainments, celebrations, regattas, seaside fun, and holidaymakers are also featured. A personal touch is added by the author, Mick Glover, a native of Whitstable whose family have lived there for generations. The evocative images in this book will appeal to anyone who knows and loves this historic town.
