Littlestone-on-Sea
Littlestone-on-Sea is a small coastal village close to New Romney. It was established in the 1880s by Sir Robert Perks, as a resort for the gentry, at the point of the local lifeboat station.〔(Littlestone Kent ) www.villagenet.co.uk〕 At low tide a WWII Mulberry Harbour Phoenix breakwater is visible and along the coast there is a P.L.U.T.O. or Pipe Line Under The Ocean, station, formerly used to carry petrol across to France during the D-Day landings.
==''The First Men in the Moon''==
Littlestone is the location of Mr Bedford's landing in the sphere in H.G. Wells book ''The First Men in the Moon''. Mr Bedford leaves the sphere on the beach and enters a hotel. A local boy called Thomas Simmons (the name of an old school friend of Wells) who witnessed Mr Bedford's arrival later enters and takes off in the sphere and is never seen again!
