The Tartar Frigate takes it's name from the HMS Tartar, a naval ship built locally. In the 1860s it became the haunt of solders, fishermen and smugglers!!!

I'm not sure you should go paddling in your clothes - especially in school uniform!
But then again - there is not much to do in Broadstairs.....

Broadstairs is truly the British seaside: sandy beaches, Punch and Judy shows; fish and chips; ice-cream parlours and old-fashioned arcades among higgledy piggledly Victorian architecture; fishermen's cottages and cobbled streets. Dickens holidayed there regularly for 20 years - he wrote Bleak House whilst staying there.
Broadstairs is situated at the extreme north-eastern corner of the Kent coast. Known as the "Jewel in Thanet's crown". The town's crest motto is Stella Maris ("Star of the Sea"). The name Broadstairs derives from an old flight of steps in the chalk cliff.

I find beach huts so interesting... it's not something we have here in the US... I wish we did, I'd have myself one! Great set, Robert, thanks for the tour!
