Photo Gallery
We will publish displays of Margate and district photographs here, changing regularly. If you would like to see photographs of any particular area or building, please let us know, by emailing us here. We will do our best to either use existing photos (old or modern) or take new ones.
The five photos which follow have a common theme: the seafront. All of these photos were taken by James Brazier. The first one is a rather Turneresque view of Margate beach.
Our next photograph shows the Droit House, taken on a sunny September evening.
The Clock Tower, built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, is another notable landmark on the seafront and this photograph shows some of its detail.
One of Margate's great sea tragedies was the loss of the surfboat Friend to All Nations on 2nd December 1897, when nine of the thirteen crew were lost. The statue at Nayland Rock commemorates this event.
Finally, one of the 34 lighting columns along the seafront, variously described as sturgeons or dolphins!
