The boathouse, Viking bay, Broadstairs is the most photographed building in Thanet. It is a central piece of the Broadstairs fishing fleet heritage. This grade two listed building and other parts of the seafront and harbour have been allowed to fall into disrepair, which led to the formation of the 'Broadstairs harbour and seafront group'.
The group is now linked with the Boadstairs town team and has raised an amount of money to begin the work required to regenerate our iconic building.
Sadly we have run out of money to finish the project. So far we have replaced rotten boards, filled, sanded and painted, leaving the beach facing side complete and looking like its former wonderful self. We have three sides to go and the construction of two new stair cases as well as a new balcony.
All work is carried out voluntarily and by the Harbour and seafront group.
Together we can make Broadstairs what it used to be....... "The jewel in Thanets crown"
Please be as generous as you feel you can and most importantly please keep enjoying our amazing seafront.
