We used this self-guided walk to look around Margate
Margate Clock Tower, 1887. The red ball is raised and falls at 1pm – it was for sailors to check their clocks at sea. The street lamps have a dolphin/sturgeon design
Margate Sands
Harbour Arm, 1810-15
Here was the home of the Grand Old Duke of York, and in the basement were England’s first indoor sea-baths, fed by a channel from the sea
In the old town
The Tudor House in King St
The Droit House where harbour fees were paid
Shell Lady
