Description

Postcard of the Grand Pier Pavilion, Herne Bay, Kent illuminated on the night of its grand opening by the Lord Mayor of London on 3 August 1910. Original photograph by Fred C. Palmer also appeared in the defunct newspaper Herne Bay Press, August 1910. The Grand Pier Pavilion burned down in 1970. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939.

Points of interest
  • A copy of this photograph was used by Paul Matisse in an artwork, having obtained the photograph from his stepfather Marcel Duchamp who visited Herne Bay in 1913.
  • The camera position appears to be on top of the old theatre building at the pier entrance. The theatre burned down in 1928.
  • If you zoom into the picture, the head and shoulders of a lady can be seen through the cafe window on the ground floor at the left-hand corner of the pavilion. At maximum resolution, some of the larger words are almost legible on the show-bills or advertisements by the main door.
