Broadstairs Harbour, Kent

This picture shows a strange mixture of the commercial and recreational aspects of this Kent town. Several fishing vessels are moored in the harbour ready to set sail, while two men appear to be loading carts with sand. In the background are changing booths from which bathers could emerge straight into the seawater.
