More about this scene
Now occupied by the Winter Gardens, the Fort, also known as Fort Green, stood high up on the sea cliff east of Margate Harbour where a gun battery had stood during the Napoleonic wars. The area formed a recreation ground with a central bandstand. The houses of Fort Crescent, which run across this picture, were built in the 1820s—it was the most fashionable part of Margate at that time.
