Some Whitstable Cottages

Whitstable is a seaside town in northeast Kent, 8 miles from Canterbury. Whitstable is famous for its oysters which have been collected in the area since Roman times. The harbour houses a fish market as well as fish processing, cargo handling and boat storage operations. The big shed of the fish market has a seafood restaurant above, the Crab & Winkle, named after the now defunct Crab and Winkle railway line. Every year the town holds a nine day Oyster Festival in July. The festival traditionally starts with an opening parade and the official "Landing of the Catch", followed by the procession of the oysters in a horse-drawn dray through the town.
