HERNE VILLAGE IN THE 1960s NR CANTERBURY IN KENT

OLD MOVIE CLIPS OF THE VILLAGE OF HERNE AND HERNE BAY DURING THE 1960s.For those in search of traditional seaside magic, you will find it in Herne Bay. Two miles of splendid seafront offer seaside favourites in the shape of candyfloss, ice cream parlours, cafés, friendly pubs and fish and chip bars.

Great beaches lined with brightly coloured beach huts reflect the great character of this seaside town. Sporting enthusiasts including rowers, yachtsmen and jet ski riders pursue their passion in Herne Bay's waters adding a thrilling dimension to natural marine qualities.

To the east, the ancient sandstone cliffs of nearby Reculver and the imposing 12th century Reculver towers and roman fort provide an imposing backdrop and the beaches here provide a haven for those looking for a peaceful hideaway.

The seafront has some interesting Victorian architecture and in the spring and summer months the town's beauty is enhanced by the seafront gardens, bringing floral colour to visitors who pass the clock tower and bandstand. In recent years, the bandstand has become a venue for those who enjoy café culture and it is also a focal point for summer concerts, other musical events and children's entertainment.

All seaside towns have events that celebrate their identity and Herne Bay is no exception. Classic car shows, Italian and Continental markets, carnivals and the Herne Bay Festival are just some of the variety of events that take place throughout the year.

The Church in the opening scene is St Martins. If you go on to Google street view and do the view for Herne Kent and look at Herne St (Canterbury Rd) at it's junction with School Lane you will see the archway at the begining of your Video. It has'nt changed. Do the same for Reculver.

Sorry but that it not Herne Bay. All you have shown on there is Herne Village and Reculver ruins. Both at least 3 to 4 miles from Herne Bay.
