1540 1795 Broadstairs Renovated Residents
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1885, showcases a breathtaking view of York Arch in Broadstairs, Kent, England. The ancient gateway, situated at the end of Harbour Street, is a historical gem that transports us back in time. Built around 1540, this architectural marvel underwent significant renovations in 1795, preserving its grandeur for generations to come. Two local residents, dressed in Victorian attire, are seen in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and human connection to the image. The woman, adorned in a flowing dress and bonnet, holds a parasol to shield herself from the sun, while the man, in a waistcoat and trousers, gazes out at the picturesque scene before him. The serene harbor, with its calm waters and quaint boats, stretches out beyond the arch, inviting visitors to explore the charming coastal town. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers that frame the gateway add a touch of natural beauty to the scene, making it a popular spot for photographers and tourists alike. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining the daily lives of the residents who once called Broadstairs home. The York Arch stands as a testament to the town's rich history and continues to be a beloved landmark for visitors and locals alike.
