Whilst browsing through photos for another challenge, I came across these pictures of the “Net Shops” in Hastings on England’s South Coast. A fascinating reminder of Victorian life.
I’m linking this to Norm’s Thursday Doors series.

Thanks for the education, these are pretty cool and I had no idea they existed. I guess it only makes sense though. Whenever there’s a need, we humans can be pretty inventive.
Don’t forget to swing by when you have a minute and add this to the link-up list 🙂

LOVE the little shed shaped like half a boat in the last photo! I’m guessing it probably is an old boat that’s been repurposed 🙂
I also like the little bell tower on the church (I assume it’s a church) beside the net shops.
