EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this stunning print of The Leas in Folkestone, Kent. Designed by the renowned architect Decimus Burton in the mid-1800s, The Leas is a unique clifftop promenade that boasts magnificent buildings, squares, and gardens. In this snapshot from 1904, we are transported to a bygone era where visitors strolled along the picturesque promenade, taking in the breathtaking views of the cliffs and coastline. The pier juts out into the sea, offering a perfect vantage point to admire the beauty of Folkestone's seaside town. The architecture of The Leas is truly remarkable, showcasing Burton's talent for creating elegant and timeless structures that blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings. From grand buildings to manicured gardens, every detail is meticulously designed to enhance the charm of this coastal gem. As we gaze at this vintage postcard image, we can almost hear the sounds of laughter and chatter drifting on the sea breeze. It serves as a reminder of a simpler time when leisurely walks along the clifftop promenade were enough to bring joy and contentment. This print captures not just a moment in history but also a sense of nostalgia for an era when life moved at a slower pace and nature was cherished as it should be.
