Sunday, December 06, 2009Broadstairs in the rainHere's some pics from our walk around the town when it was pissing down with rain. I'll post up some less soggy pics later. Labels: broadstairs, kent, rain, sea, seaside Friday, April 18, 2008The Brighton Sea RailwayI've just been sent an interesting YouTube animation of one of the most bonkers railways ever built - Volk's Brighton to Rottingdean Seashore Electric railway. This mad piece of Victorian eccentricity saw what amounted to a part-submerged moving pier travelling through the sea from Brighton to Rottingdean. The whole venture lasted less than seven years, but you can see a short animation of the electric railway tram, 'Pioneer,' which was officially classified as a ship and had to be piloted by a trained sea captain!
