Broadstairs

Broadstairs Beachfront

I took this shot of Broadstairs beach today on my phone using retrocamera as I think it adds to the old English seaside feel.  Broadstairs is a lovely Victorian town, which was popular with smugglers in the eighteenth century.  There are many tunnels and caves in the white, chalky cliffs where tobacco, alcohol and tea was stored due to the very high duty imposed.    Charles Dickens visited Broadstairs regularly and wrote David Copperfield here.  It is a beautiful little place that makes you want to buy an ice cream and ride on the merry-go-round.
