The Grade II listed building, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, is also known as the boathouse (named after the lifeboat used from 1869 to 1912) and harbormaster's office. However, a 2015 report in the Isle of Thanet Gazette stated: "The old boathouse is thought to have been built around 1700 with a thatched roof. In 1843, this was replaced with a heavier slate roof, which probably caused the building's current visible lean." The building underwent a thorough inspection by Thanet Council in 2006, which found no structural issues. However, a June 2016 report by the Broadstairs Town Team stated that the building "is so badly deteriorated that local residents' concerns about its condition have prompted the town to investigate what needs to be done, both in the short and long term, to safeguard its status as one of Broadstairs' landmark buildings."

This magnificent, horseshoe-shaped bay is the main attraction of Broadstairs. It was the favorite holiday destination of Charles Dickens, who even dedicated a beloved story to it: "Our English Watering Place". The long sandy bay, the cliff-top promenade, and the wooden jetty make this bay a timelessly beautiful place.

Didn't know until I got here that Ramsgate was a central point for the Dunkirk little ships in WW2

Interesting - if a little confused - history, of Angles, Saxons and the later Vikings.

Great building

On 21 Sep 2024 this Viking boat was no longer here.

Quaint seaside town with a lovely beach and lots of Dickens history.

Broadstairs TR3967 2m N of Ramsgate (map 179). To reach Botany Bay take the B2052 from Margate towards Broadstairs. About two miles from Margate centre turn left down Botany Road. The Captain Digby Inn is about ¾ mile further along the B2052 where the road makes a sharp turn to the right. Joss Bay is half a mile closer to Broadstairs: there is a large car-park on the cliff above the beach. Continue on another ¾ mile towards Broadstairs, past the North Foreland lighthouse, and turn right into Lanthorne Road. Stone House (now split into flats) on the corner of the road was used by the Callis Court Gang for storage, and a tunnel linking the house to the coast was revealed when it collapsed under the weight of a bulldozer in the 1950s. Farm Cottage, where Snelling himself lived, is a couple of hundred yards further along on the right. At the far end of the road, a right turn takes you along Callis Court Road. Look down Fig Tree Road as you pass it on the left. The house with the small copper cupola was once the Fig Tree Inn. Anyone seeking work as a smuggler could find it here. Carry on along Callis Court Road, and at its end continue straight ahead into Elmwood Avenue. In the garden of a thatched cottage halfway down on the left is a row of caves that once hid contraband.
