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. . 1910. Fred C. Palmer (died 1936-1939) 123 FCP HB006

RMP273F9–. Postcard of the Clock Tower and Portland stone drinking fountain given to the town in 1888 by London Alderman Col. Horatio Davies, who became Lord Mayor of London. The drinking fountain is now in a sunken garden opposite Telford Terrace on the sea front. The third Herne Bay Pier is in the background. Points of interest The photo can be dated between 1899 and 1909 because the third Herne Bay Pier has been built but Grand Pier Pavilion is not yet built. The old fog-warning guns from the first pier are not yet on the steps of the Clock Tower. . before 1910 (postcard is postmarked 1913).. Anony

RMP273F5–. Postcard of the Clock Tower and Portland stone drinking fountain given to the town in 1888 by London Alderman Col. Horatio Davies, who became Lord Mayor of London. The drinking fountain is now in a sunken garden opposite Telford Terrace on the sea front. The third Herne Bay Pier is in the background. Points of interest The photo can be dated at 1910 because the Grand Pier Pavilion, built in 1910, is still under construction at the back. The old fog-warning guns from the first pier are not yet on the steps of the Clock Tower. A poster near the Clock Tower advertises the Jollity Boys who used

RMP7T9T4–Postcard dated 1910-1928 showing the third Herne Bay Pier which was built 1899. The Grand Pier Pavilion was built 1910, and the theatre and shops at the pier entrance burned down 1928. between 1910 and 1928 10 3rd Herne Bay Pier 1910-28 031

RMP7T9T8–Postcard dated 1810-1828 showing the third Herne Bay Pier which was built 1899. The Grand Pier Pavilion, shown here, was built 1910, and the pier entrance has not yet burned down (in 1928). There is no postmark, but women's dresses are still long and Edwardian collars are worn, and on the back it says 'British manufacture throughout', perhaps because earlier cards were printed in Dresden. Therefore it is possibly dated around 1914. between 1910 and 1928 10 3rd Herne Bay Pier 1910-1928 027

RMP7T9RT–Postcard dated 1932-1939 showing a view of Herne Bay (Kent, England) looking east from the third Herne Bay Pier. Photo probably taken from the promenade deck halfway up the Grand Pier Pavilion, or possibly from the roof of the entrance building. This shows a special aspect of the pier, which was to give an unusual view of the town from the sea, for those who had no access to ships. between 1932 and 1939 10 3rd Herne Bay Pier 1932-1939 014

RMP7T9RW–Hand-coloured postcard photo taken 1910-1928 showing the third Herne Bay Pier which was built 1899. The card is postmarked 15 August 1928, and the wooden theatre entrance buildings, seen in this photo, burned down on 9 September 1928. However the photo was almost certainly taken before 1914, going by the style of costume and charabanc in the foreground. The Grand Pier Pavilion (big building on pier) was built 1910. postmarked 1928; photo probably taken earlier 10 3rd Herne Bay Pier 1910-28 018

RMP285E1–. Postcard photo of East Cliff at Herne Bay, Kent, England. The postcard is unused, but it is dated on the grounds that the Grand Pier Pavilion in the background was built in 1910, and the Kings Hall has not yet had its 1913 rebuild. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. Points of interest: Among the posed group of people in the centre foreground, the lad on the grass is smiling cheekily, as if perhaps he has done this before. Could he be Palmer's son Leslie Reginald, born 1896? The large group in the top left distance mig

RMP7TKMT–Postcard showing a print of Herne Bay (Kent, England) looking east from the third Herne Bay Pier. The original photo was probably taken from the promenade deck halfway up the Grand Pier Pavilion, or possibly from the roof of the entrance building. This shows a special aspect of the pier, which was to give an unusual view of the town from the sea, for those who had no access to ships. The bandstand can be seen along the beach. It was published by Photochrom of London and Tunbridge Wells. 1924-1929 (Reason for date: 1924 first phase of bandstand is visible; 1932 second phase not yet visible; 192

RMP285FK–. Postcard of Herne Bay Pier, Herne Bay, Kent, unused, but identical to the tinted version (listed below) which is postmarked 1905. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer, who died in 1941. At the time of this photograph he was probably still working from Herne Bay High Street, as his Tower Studio address does not appear alongside his name on the back of the card. Points of interest The Grand Pier Pavilion was not yet built; it was completed in 1910. The theatre building in the foreground burned down in 1928. On the right hand side of the shops alongside the theatre building, can be seen part of

RMP285HJ–. Postcard of the Grand Pier Pavilion, Herne Bay, Kent in rough sea, 1910-1913. The Grand Pier Pavilion was completed in 1910 and 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 On this coast, the prevailing wind is north-westerly, although equinoctial gales come from the east. The camera is looking north, and the pier goes out in a northerly direction from the seafront. So the big wave is apparently bursting through under the pier from the west side. It cannot have been easy to take a well-f

RMP285F6–. Reverse of postcard photo of the Tower Gardens, Herne Bay, Kent, dated 1910-1913. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. Points of interest In 1913 Marcel Duchamp used Palmer's 1910 photograph of the illuminated Grand Pier Pavilion as found art in his Note 78, part of his Green Box artwork. In the same year, Duchamp visited his sister who was studying the English language in Herne Bay, in a residential study centre. The message on the back of this postcard appears to be from a contemporary female French student, and it i
