Beneath an ordinary English town lies one of history’s strangest mysteries. In 1835, a man in Margate discovered a hidden underground chamber beneath his backyard and what he found was unbelievable. A network of tunnels and rooms, every single surface covered in millions of seashells. This place is known today as the Shell Grotto. But here’s the mystery: no one knows who built it, when it was built, or why. Some believe it was an 18th-century folly, while others think it could be centuries older

Sit on a piece of Margate history, with Margates best breakfast 🍳 But, in reality, we always try to please our customers, but it genuinely is the minority of people say they’re not a fan of the seating but we thought we’d give a bit of background for anyone wondering why we have them. Not been in before? You’ve got to come and try them out, and let us know what you thought 🤝 Anyway, happy Sunday all ☕️ #margatehistory #margate #dalbycafe #pieceofhistory | Dalby Cafe

An old shipwreck has been exposed on Margate Beach ! . Over two metres of sand has been washed away to reveal the old timbers that show the wooden pegs used in boat manufacturing called treenails (or sometimes trenails, trennels, or trunnels). This method of fastening timber has been used for centuries, dating back at least to ancient Egyptian times and likely the Neolithic period (over 7000 years ago), this ended in around 1850 when copper nails were introduced so its old but unknown how old or

The seafront of Margate, Kent. In the early 1900s. Over 120 years ago! New views of the Parade and the Gap, as Edwardians also enjoy sunny days on the beach and visiting the Jetty. (Individual original photographs have been colourised and then animated using AI technology to then produce this collated video. It is therefore purely a representation of movement in the scene at the point of the photograph, though the scenes are real.) Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/b

Mr's Booths resting place in Margate. Lover of the great painter J.M.W Turner famous for his Margate sunsets. Shame it can't be protected with perspex or something as it's rapidly deteriorating . . Sophia Caroline Nollte was born in Dover in 1798, to German immigrant parents. She moved to Margate in 1818 when she married John Henry Pound, a local fisherman with whom she had two sons (one of whom died in infancy). Her husband drowned in 1821 and in 1825 she married John Booth, who was 37 years he

Opinions on us on Instagram: "Margate and the surrounding settlements of Broadstairs and Ramsgate were once isolated from the mainland on an island. The Isle of Thanet was once a true island, separated from the mainland by the Wantsum Channel. Over centuries, the channel gradually silted up, a process aided by natural factors like erosion and artificial land reclamation by monks. By the 16th century, the Wantsum Channel had closed; however, the district is still known as the Isle of Thanet. #his
