Over
the years, many of you have sent us photographs of your visits to what
was Peter and Helen Cushing's home town of Whitstable in Kent. I see
many many photographs of the 'love bench' that Peter donated to the
town, dedicated from both he and his late wife. Only yesterday (Monday
18th September), a good friend to the PCAS FACEBOOK FAN PAGE Becky Jarrett, made a trip to
Whitstable and thought she would walk along to 'Cushing's
View' at the sea front and sit on the 'Cushing Bench' and take in the
sun and sights. She was upset to discover that the brass dedication
plate has vanished from the bench ....
You'll find LOTS of features about the 'Cushing's Love Seat'
here at the website, but here is a interesting one! CLICK HERE!
For
over 25 years, the bench has sat there, in all weathers, offering a
place to sit and admire the view, that Peter Cushing visited on his
daily walks along the front. Visitors from around the world, visit Whitstable, many knowing the town's connection with Peter and Helen, and visit Cushing's View and the bench. Never has the bench been defaced, carved
into, vandalized or damaged. Just over two years ago, the bench
vanished... no warning.. while it was given a coat of varnish and some
TLC. It returned, looking better than ever. I am hoping, the plaque has
been removed for some maintenance too... If you have any news or
information about its where-abouts, please let us know here . . .
thank you Becky for letting us know ;) Marcus
