1. Title: A Blast from the Past: Leas Shelter & Pier, Folkestone, Kent (1910s). Step back in time with this photograph of Leas Shelter and Pier in Folkestone, Kent, England, dating back to the 1910s. This iconic scene, located near Hythe, showcases the timeless charm of this coastal town. Leas Shelter, a beautiful open-air pavilion, was a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Built on the cliff edge, it offered a respite from the elements, allowing visitors to enjoy the picturesque views of the English Channel and the pier. The shelter was a testament to the ingenuity of its creators, who designed it to blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of the landscape. The pier, an essential part of Folkestone's maritime heritage, stretches out into the sea, inviting visitors to explore its length and take in the breathtaking vistas. In the early 1900s, piers like Folkestone's were not only popular recreational spots but also served as vital transportation hubs, connecting communities to the wider world. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with its quaint Victorian architecture, pristine white buildings, and the gentle rolling waves of the English Channel. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a horse-drawn carriage, adding a touch of nostalgia and romance to the image. As you gaze at this photograph, you can almost hear the laughter of children playing on the beach, the distant cries of seagulls, and the gentle lull of the sea. A visit to Leas Shelter and Pier in the 1910s was more than just a day at the seaside; it was an experience that left a lasting impression on the hearts and minds of those who ventured there. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the simple pleasures of a bygone era. It is a reminder that, despite the passage of time, the beauty and allure of the English coastline continue to captivate and inspire us.
