EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when the iconic Reculvers, also known as Sister Towers, in Herne Bay faced an imminent threat of destruction. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the architectural beauty of these towers that were once places of worship. The image transports us back to a time when these magnificent structures stood tall against the backdrop of Kent's picturesque landscape. The intricate details and grandeur of the Reculvers are beautifully captured, highlighting their historical significance. It is fascinating to imagine how this threatened destruction would have impacted not only the physical presence of these towers but also their cultural and spiritual importance to the community. This photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility to preserve such remarkable landmarks for future generations. Originally featured in The Illustrated London News on August 12,1899, this image holds immense historical value. It provides us with a glimpse into an era where photography was still emerging as an art form and documents a significant event that could have altered Herne Bay's skyline forever.
