When I was a little girl growing up in Kent I used to collect stamps. Once my dad took me to a stamp shop near the quay side in Whitstable. Peter Cushing was there buying at the same time and he and my dad had a long conversation.
My wife is from Whitstable and used to deliver papers to Peter Cushing she said he was a true gentleman. I last saw his house only a month ago on a visit to the area.
My late sister and her family used to live just up the hill from Whitstable Town... (across the Thanet Way) I haven't been there for decades...so it's nice to see it again. Thank-you.
I visited peters Home a couple of years ago it was up for sale he had a garden behind it, and another separate garden opposite that one he definitely loved his flowers, and I think he had a rose named after his wife .Peter was a legend and sadly missed .
Sadly Whitstable is not the nice place it used to be even 10 years ago (let alone 20). Fish markets gone/gentrified. Sadly no character any more. The SOS app also regularly puts a Red Cross against swimming there, so god knows what the oysters are eating.
