Welcome
to Whitstable
Welcome to Whitstable on the North Kent
coast of the UK. The town lies just 60 miles East of London and 6 miles
North of the cathedral city of Canterbury. As a fishing port, Whitstable is
famous for its oysters and appreciated by many for its quaint
architecture and stunning sunsets.
In these pages, we have tried to capture
the magic of a unique town. We don't pretend to present an
official view... we don't have any official status and we don't have
connections with any local organisations. We don't set out to advertise specific Whitstable
businesses... we
are not PR men. We don't make money... in fact no income is sought or
generated from the site.
We are simply born and bred Whitstable people presenting
our view of our home and having some fun along the way. However, we do
have specific aims....
-
to make contact with ex-pat Whitstable Natives (and
others with an interest in the town) from around the world
-
to reunite ex-pat Natives with friends and relatives in
Whitstable or elsewhere
-
to stir a few memories amongst current and former
residents of Whitstable
-
to investigate aspects of Whitstable's past through the
recollections and research of our vistors
-
to prompt discussion of some local issues
-
to enable local residents to show friends and relatives
where they live and what their home town is like
The site is
organised here in Whitstable but the content is provided by
many Whitstable people from
around the globe and it takes the form of substantial articles,
photos, memories and anecdotes.
It is therefore "Our Site"....
and the "We" can be anyone who wishes to contribute. Think of
it as a community club... but one that is open to all.
We hope you enjoy it. More important, we
hope you enjoy Whitstable itself. Thank you for calling.
