Glorious, unexpected day of camera fun: day 42
Categories : 365
Not sure how it happened, but I got a fair amount of opportunity to take images today. The most important image here today for me, is the building. I drove past this house today for the first time in a while and was horrified. I really wanted this house when I moved back to Kent, but it was already sold, to a developer. Now 3 years on, look at it. This building should be glorious. It stands proud over the Bay, looking out towards Tankerton and Whitstable. I don’t understand how this is allowed to happen.
The other images, considerably less emotional, took advantage of the rather extreme wind and snow we’ve had overnight and during the day today. Just wish something could be done for that glorious house. Sad.
what a shame, it looks like it had loads of character
The centre window is great
Real shame. Think I may go back and do more images of just how bad it is all round, then go to the Council, they must be able to do something.
There is possibly something that could be done about this.

I’m happy to raise this issue if you want to email the details.
