Bathtub on holiday

Things out of place have a curious fascination. How did they get there? Who put them there? And why there exactly? One can only speculate as to what chain of events led to this bathtub being placed next to a telephone box on the Hastings promenade. Did someone suddenly no longer need the tub, preferring to shower instead? Was it stolen? Was it the remnants of some artistic installation? A student prank? Or – my guess: did someone cross over from France in it and placed it next to the phone box in order to call home and then forgot about it ?! Your guess is as good as mine. I thought it was bizarre enough to take a picture. The battered remains of the pier, prior to rejuvenation, are seen to the right – but I somehow can't believe the bathtub came from there... Location: Hastings, England
