Broadstairs: Old Lifeboat Station

Down at the Harbour, we saw a distinct white building, the Old Lifeboat Station:

 

Have just read that this building operated as a Lifeboat Station from 1868 to 1912, and saved the lives of 275 people during that time.

In front of the Old Lifeboat Station, there stood an old 2nd World War mine which was now being used to collect money for a sea mariner-related charity:


 What a great way of raising money for charity.
