Peter Cushing's Lost Garden

Many will recall the stone wall that surrounded the garden of Peter & Helen Cushing and the dovecote that peeked over the top. Sadly, the garden has disappeared but, thanks to John Harman, we can preserve a little bit of lost history on Simply Whitstable and discover how a replica dovecote may yet make an appearance in John's garden in Canada.

The Trocadero Cinema

Thanks to a wonderful memento from Ivan Knowles, we take a look at the town's largest cinema of bygone days. It's fascinating stuff as we link the story to general cinema history and the development of Tankerton.
