WHITSTABLE

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 612 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WHITSTABLE , a watering-place in the St
Augustine
 's parliamentary division of Kent, England, on the north
coast
  at the
east
  end of the Swale, 6 m. N.N.W. of Canterbury, on the
South
  Eastern & Chatham railway. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901), 7086.
They are particularly important in that they counteracted the popular and interestingly written books of Max Muller: for instance, Muller, like
Renan
  and Wilhelm von Humboldt, regarded language as an innate faculty and Whitney considered it the product of experience and outward circumstance. See Whitney's article Philology in the present edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The branch railway connecting Whitstable with Canterbury was one of the earliest in England, opened in 183o. The church of All Saints (Decorated and Perpendicular) possesses some old brasses; it was restored in 1875. Whitstable has been famous for its
oyster
  beds from time immemorial. The fisheries were held by the Incorporated Company of Dredgers (incorporated by Act of
Parliament
  in 1793), the affairs being administered by a foreman,
deputy
  foreman and jury of twelve; but in 1896 an Act of
Parliament
  transferred the management of the fishery to a company. The less extensive Seasalter and Ham
oyster
  fishery adjoins. There is also a considerable
coasting
  trade in coal in conjunction with the
South
 -Eastern & Chatham railway company, who are the owners of the harbour, which accommodates vessels of about 400 tons alongside the quay. The urban
district
  consists of parts of the old parishes of Whitstable and Seasalter. In modern times the manor was held by Wynne Ellis (1790-1875), who left a valuable collection of paintings to the nation.
Tankerton, adjoining Whitstable to the N.E., is a newly established seaside resort.
