Margate


We spent the day at this seaside town, unfortunately it was a very grey day. This used to be a favourite place for Londoners to have a day or week by the seaside. When I was a boy we had a number of family days out at Margate, we would catch a pleasure boat called the MV Royal Daffodil from Southend pier and travel down the Thames.


Dreamland.



We paid a visit to the Turner Contemporary Gallery named after one of Margate’s most famous visitors & occasional resident, the artist William TurnerI was told that this building has been constructed on the site of where he used to lodge when he was staying in Margate.
 
One of the exhibits for visitors to interact with.  I found this lovely man with so much character  & asked him to pose for me.
