A fun trio of cards represnting Pegwell as a lively but not very advanced location, with trips from Ramsgate, shrimping and boat races all clearly a major part of the excitement. Posted in 1913, just before the Great War, they reflect a time when Pegwell was still a destination in its own right, with a thriving tourism and shrimping sector. Not many hairdressers though...
