"The Kentish Coast" by Charles G. Harper is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work explores the rich history and scenic beauty of the coastline of Kent, beginning from the industrial suburb of Deptford and extending along the Thames to picturesque seaside towns such as Margate and Ramsgate. The narrative delves into the characteristics of various locations in Kent, encompassing both public and personal historical anecdotes to provide readers with a vivid sense of place. At the start of the book, the author introduces the coastal region of Kent as a lively area, steeped in historical significance dating back to ancient times. Harper describes Deptford as the genesis of this coast, with references to its naval history and the storied past of notable figures like Julius Caesar and Peter the Great. The narrative highlights the juxtaposition of the area's vibrant present, with its modern industrial developments, against its rich tapestry of historical events, inviting readers on a journey through time as they discover the personalities and pivotal moments that define the Kentish coast and its communities.
