EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quaint charm of The Town, Hythe in Kent, England, as it looked in 1908. Located near the historic town of Folkestone, Hythe has long been a popular seaside destination for visitors from London and beyond. The image shows the town's picturesque high street, lined with quaint shops and houses, many adorned with colorful flowers and pennants. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage waits patiently for passengers, adding to the sense of history and tradition. At the heart of the scene is the Parish Church of St. Leonard, with its distinctive tower and spire rising above the rooftops. The church, which dates back to the 11th century, is a testament to the town's rich history and religious heritage. The Town, Hythe was a popular destination for day-trippers and holidaymakers in the early 20th century, who would come to enjoy the sea air, the sandy beaches, and the many amenities on offer. The town's proximity to the Continent, just 21 miles across the English Channel, added to its allure, with regular ferry services providing easy access to Europe. Today, The Town, Hythe remains a popular tourist destination, with many of its original features still intact. Visitors can explore the charming streets, take a stroll along the beach, or relax in one of the many cafes and tea rooms. The town's rich history is also celebrated through various events and attractions, including the annual Hythe Fair and the Hythe Military Ferry, which has been operating continuously since 1573.
