Nairn developed from a fishing village at the mouth of the River Nairn into a spa town in the Victorian era. Due to its wide sandy beaches and favorable climate, Nairn is a popular holiday resort. Charlie Chaplin often spent his holidays in Nairn. The seagull is resting on the sparkling clean car roof after a long day. And yes, I have rotated the photo 180 degrees

In the 7th century, Eanswith, granddaughter of Æthelberht of Kent, founded a nunnery in Folkestone. In the 13th century the village was part of the "Cinque Ports", which led to its development into a prosperous trading port. At the beginning of the Tudor period, Folkestone was granted town rights. As in other south coast settlements, smuggling developed here in the 18th century. The connection to the railway network in 1843 had a major impact on the development of the town.
