Kerry Mayo – författare

‘Whitstable is a stirring little town, with strong business proclivities, and a history stretching far back into the remote past.’ So wrote a Kentish Gazette correspondent in 1873, although he could have been describing the north Kent seaside town today. Over the years, the lives of townspeople have been sustained by sea salt production, diving, smuggling, shipbuilding and fishing, along with copperas mining and tourism.In this pocket-sized guide, author Kerry Mayo takes readers on a fascinating tour around Whitstable’s streets and buildings, showing how its famous landmarks used to look and how they have changed over the years, as well as exploring some of its lesser-known sights and hidden corners. With the help of a handy location map, readers are invited to discover for themselves the history and the changing face of the town.
