  • 18 Fort Road, Margate Introduction
    Initial site context FORT ROAD HOTEL 18 Fort Road, Margate Introduction Thanet District Council (TDC), is seeking a developer/hotelier to assist in the regeneration of The Fort Road Hotel, Margate. Margate is the UK’s original seaside resort. It was ‘discovered’ by fashionable Londoners in the early eighteenth century and has been evolving as a cultural destination ever since. Over the years, it is famed for having been, variously: a favourite weekend haunt of the artist JMW Turner; a source of inspiration to the poet TS Eliot; a playground for millions of visitors to Dreamland; a battleground for Mods and Rockers; and the childhood home of the artist Tracey Emin. Like so many UK resorts, Margate fell out of fashion towards the end of the twentieth century, and fell onto particularly hard times. As a result, the public and private sectors have rallied behind the resort in support of a large-scale regeneration programme with culture at its heart. Today Margate is reimagining itself, as it has done at least twice before. Having pioneered the concept of the seaside resort, Margate is to become a vibrant, twenty-fi rst century tourist destination; building on its unique, and incredibly rich, cultural past. This April, we celebrated the opening of Turner Contemporary – a new, world-class gallery inspired by JMW Turner’s association with the town. On the back of this multi-million pound investment, Margate is preparing to welcome a new wave of cultural tourists. More than 200,000 people to date have visited the gallery – and other attractions and visitors are promised to follow in its wake.

  • When and Why Tenterden Became a Member of the Confederation of Cinque Ports
    Tenterden and District Newsletter Local History Society No. 31 September 2017 Founded 25th November 1955 When and Why Tenterden became a Member of the Confederation of Cinque Ports Presently there are fourteen Corporate members of the Confederation of the Cinque Ports. Why fourteen when the Old French word “cinque” means five. The first recorded occasion when the original five Head Ports of Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich were mentioned together is in Charter of Edward the Confessor of 1050. Rye and Winchelsea were initially limbs of Hastings but when that port was seriously affected by the loss of its harbour Rye and Winchelsea now called the “Two Antient Towns” were promoted to the status of Head Port in the Reign of King John. This created seven Head Ports which in their turn also sought assistance from nearby communities. The Cinque Ports were given many powers including the right to self government, independent legal jurisdiction and equally importantly exemption from national taxation. In return for assistance many communities were granted some of the benefits of their Head Port. At times there have been over forty such members. In other cases the assistance was recognised by the grant of a charter and there are currently seven such towns namely Deal, Faversham, Folkestone, Lydd, Margate, Ramsgate and Tenterden. These together with the Head Ports appoint the Lord Warden at a Court of Shepway. For many centuries the Court of Shepway was the equivalent of a Shire Court presided over by a Sheriff. The Cinque Ports fell outside of any County for many legal purposes.

Robin Gordon, Chairman of SOLA (Supporters Of Lydd Airport) called for a new approach from local society to emphasise the benefits that a revitalised airport can bring to the local area. He pointed out that regional airports on the south coast such as Southampton, Bournemouth, Exeter and Plymouth are valued by local communities and valuable gateways to the region. With the pending public inquiry these matters must be taken up and debated by all who live and work in the area. Tim Crompton, speaking for SOLA said “We will be concentrating on the community benefits of the redevelopment, the jobs created, the businesses Are there any jobs here???
