Herne Bay, 1899: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of Herne Bay, a charming coastal town located in Kent, England. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 145, and showcases a group of people standing outside their houses along the East Coast. The scene is set against the backdrop of quaint, Victorian-era architecture, with houses boasting intricate brickwork, slate roofs, and ornate chimneys. The people in the photograph appear to be dressed in fashionable attire of the time, adding to the overall sense of elegance and charm. In the foreground, a man stands holding a lantern, possibly preparing to enter one of the houses or perhaps guiding someone else. A woman, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and a bonnet, stands nearby, her arms folded as she watches the activity. Children play in the street, their laughter echoing through the air. The East Coast of England is known for its picturesque seaside towns, and Herne Bay is no exception. This photograph provides a unique and intriguing look into the daily life of the town's residents over a century ago. The lantern, a common household item at the time, adds an element of mystery and intrigue, hinting at the importance of community and the role of neighbors in helping one another. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history and traditions of Herne Bay and the East Coast, and serves as a testament to the enduring charm and allure of the British seaside.
