A friend of mine put me onto this wonderful site. They allow us to have a look at our coast and see how it has changed. For comparison look at Google map link in links below. Also take a look at Simon Moores' aerial film of Westgate.

You will notice the loss of our chalk stacks of which we now only have a few. Our coast has been smoothed to protect against erosion.

There are many more to research at  http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=thanet
