Seaside signs
The Kent seaside town of Whitstable bristles with signs. Signs that glint in the bright sunshine of a November day.
One grandly pronounces the resort’s long and proud connection with oysters, while a lifeguard hut pulses its dazzling red and yellow presence.
Elsewhere, the faded elegance of a hotel and the name of an old house near the shore are announced to all. Little pieces of history, just a few fragments of a British coastal beacon.

Can I say this, your images have captured the Englishness of the resort. May be it is not very PC, but our coastal resorts do have a quirkiness about them.

Thanks James. And I agree, they have a certain feel to them. Pleased if I managed to impart some of this in these shots.

One of my favourite Kent haunts when I used to live in London and I have to say that your detailed images caused me to look at them with a smile and a longing to pop over to this part of the UK Coast. Your terrific style Mike.

Thank you very much, James. It’s definitely worth a photographic trip. I’ll have some more at the weekend that I kept to one side.
