Shared Memories of Margate
 Margate, the Royal Sea Bathing Hospital c1950 (ref: M31306) |
Year: 1970
70s Thoughts
I came from the north to work in Margate from 70 to 72--at what was then called the Isle of Thanet District Hospital, Margate Wing. For my first 2 months I lived in staff accommodation at the Royal Sea Bathing Hospital. I'm sure that people in far more upmarket accomodation would have killed for the sea view from my room. I paid a return visit to Margate in 2006 and was struck by how little it had changed from my era. Posted: 23/10/2008 12:51 by Ian Warburton |

 Margate, St John's Church 1890 (ref: 27445) |
Year: 1870s
FAMILY HOME IN THE CHURCHYARD
My grandmother was born in the churchyard - as was my mother and her siblings- well actually in a cottage which abutted the church wall - the family lived in the cottage for almost 100 years until it was condemned and pulled down in the 1920's - they built an air-raid shelter on the site during WWII and now they have built St Johns Communtiy Centre there. The place was Vine Cottage -Wheatleys Place, there were connecions wth the cottage and the Theatre Royal going back to the late 1700 early 1800's. Posted: 28/11/2007 13:55 by Sally Culshaw |
