Pictures of Bleak House where Charles Dickens wrote Bleak House and resided.
We decided to go on another trip to the seaside and bought an all day explorer bus ticket. I think it was seven Pounds seventy. You can get on and off the buses and use it all day. It reminded me of an old friend in Lancashire who we told him on a Sunday to ask the driver for a Sunday bulldog. It was really called a Sunday Rover. The bus driver asked him if he was taking the Michael?
We caught the Broadstairs bus at Canterbury bus station and it took us to Broadstairs going through lots of villages and Ramsgate.
Broadstairs was very busy and seemed full of London day trippers going off their accents and sayings:
"Alright babe?"
Hotel where Dickens resided.
Dickensian theme cottage to rent.
I believe that Broadstairs got that name because there were some broad stairs leading down to the beach and Ramsgate got its name because in days gone by a ram was kept in a field near the centre of the town and it would charge at any visitors who attempted to access the field through the gate. I refuse to say anything about how Cockermouth got its name.

ReplyDeleteThanks LA. The public transport in Kent is excellent and very reasonably priced and the bus drivers are so polite. Wish we had a bus where we live.
ReplyDeleteMy son was at Manston when he was in the Air Force.
