Seaside Art

Despite seagulls stealing your chips, peiople have always flocked to the seaside. Whether this was to escape pollution in cities, for health benefits, a sunny day out or even for work, the seaside is an escape for many. 

For centuries, Dover seafront has known people strolling along the promenade with the castle looking down over the harbour. In this exhibition we have selected a number of views of Dover seafront across the ages, showing various people and activities. As the weather continues to improve, we're sure many of you will want a visit to the beach too!
