1. Title: "A Glimpse of Herne Bay: A Stroll Down the Seaside Promenade, circa 1900" 2. Description: This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 145, transports us back in time to the early 1900s and the picturesque coastal town of Herne Bay, located on the East Coast of England. The image showcases a tranquil scene of a tree-lined street, leading the viewer's eye towards the iconic Herne Bay Tower. 3. Context: The quaint Victorian-era town of Herne Bay was a popular seaside resort during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The tree-lined street, adorned with lampposts and a horse-drawn carriage, exudes an air of sophistication and leisure. 4. Focal Point: The Herne Bay Tower, a distinctive landmark, stands proudly in the background. Originally built as a water tower in 1835, it was later converted into a lighthouse in 1860 and then into a popular tourist attraction in the late 1800s. The tower's unique silhouette against the sky adds an intriguing element to the photograph. 5.
