Welcome to NCI Herne Bay Living History
The idea of a local NCI station was mooted in 1998 and soon after NCI Herne bay opened in the cupola above the bandstand, but this proved to be not very satisfactory. Later it moved to its final premises, which was the top floor of a Victorian public toilet block known then and now as the OLD BATHING STATION.
In 2023 the building was declared no longer safe for occupation.
The existing watchkeeping crew transferred to the new watchstation at NCI Ramsgate which opened in May 2024.
The Station is now permanently closed.
