A city by the sea

I discovered Fokestone as a friend of mine moved here very recently. An oldy worldy place, once a playground for british sea side holidaymakers in victorian times, now rather neglected. It has a very english faded charm about it.

Lots of grand victorian architecture

A real pleasure, but only some of the buildings are restored.

Once a big harbour

used by ships and boats, and now mostly by seagulls...
