We left Margate at 8.30am on our very comfortable Carol Peters coach and, after the usual pick-ups between Margate and Birchington, we were soon on our way. Our driver took a scenic route and we enjoyed seeing the Kent and east Sussex countryside. We arrived at Sheffield Park at 11am by which time many of the group decided coffee was needed and made for the restaurant. The gardens are particularly noted for the huge variety of trees and, although the autumn tints had not quite begun to show, there is an amazing range of colours. Combined with the lakes, water cascades and wildlife, this is a really beautiful place and One of the many delightful vistas at Sheffield Park everyone enjoyed strolling round enjoying the views. We didn’t have any sunshine but the weather was mild and just right for walking. After another visit to the restaurant and the shop, we boarded the coach again for the very short journey to Sheffield Park station on the Bluebell Railway. We had time to look around the very attractive old station before boarding our reserved carriage on the 3:45pm train to East Signage at Sheffield Park Station Grinstead. Our train was hauled by 0-6-0 steam locomotive No. 30541, which was designed by Richard Maunsell for the Southern Railway and built just before the Second World War. After our 45-minute journey to East Grinstead, we had an opportunity to have a look at the engine before returning to Sheffield Park. Although this trip was not as well supported as some of our other ones, those who went had a most enjoyable day. Time now for your Committee to think about our next coach trip, which we usually hold towards the end of May each year. If you have any ideas for a day out, please let any Committee member know. □ Mike Wilton Treasurer Steam locomotive No. 30541 at Sheffield Park Station 2 3 Recording the Westgate-on-Sea Recreation Ground 1914-18 War Memorial on the Centenary of the Armistice Four-and-a-half acres of land in Lymington Road were recreation ground although the recreation ground is purchased in 1920 and funded by public subscription to recognised as a war memorial.

  • 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.
