A Post Office Directory Kent 1851 A MARGATE MARGATE is a sea-port town and watering-place in the parish of St John, in Ringslow Hundred and the Isle and Union of Thanet, and lathe of St. Augustine. It is on the sea shore, on the west side of the North Foreland, and opposite Margate sands. Margate is a member of the Cinque Port of Dover, and is 71½ miles from London, 16¾ from Canterbury, and 5 from Ramsgate. The market is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Margate is much frequented as a watering-place, for which it is well adapted from its situation, and ready access to it by the steamboats. A branch of the South Eastern Railway also communicates with Ramsgate. Fishing for skate, haddock, soles, and flat fish is carried on, and some little trade with the Netherlands, for the immediate wants of the district. The parish contained, in 1841, a population of 10,679, not having much increased of late years. The area in acres is 381, and the Property Tax assessment £52,080. Steamboats run to London, Gravesend, Herne Bay, and Ramsgate. The place was formerly known by the name of St. John's, and still earlier as Meregate, a gate of sea; afterwards a small fishing town arose, at the gate in the cliff called Margate, and this name now applies to the whole town. That part of the town to the west of the harbour is called Buenos Ayres. The town is well laid out, paved, lighted, and watched, and some of the streets are good. The Marine parade has of late years been widened; the Marine terrace extends 1,500 feet in length, and is protected from the sea by a stone wall. The Esplanade is parallel to the Marine terrace, and extends a quarter of a mile in length—it is much frequented. With the piers Margate thus possesses the advantage of excellent promenades, and its shore for bathing is very good. Cecil square was built in 1769; Addington square more recently; Hawley square is an old square. The pier was built in 1810, by the celebrated John Rennie, and is of Whitby stone, 901 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 26 feet high. The promenade is raised above the level of the sea. There is also a wooden jetty, called Jarvis's landing place, which is frequented as a favourite promenade, and used for landing passengers from steamers at low water. The lighthouse is on the pier; a fine view is obtained from it. A patent slip for the repair of ships is opposite to the jetty, so that, although there is no regular port, considerable Page 1 of 27

accommodation is afforded for shipping. The church of St. John the Baptist is an ancient edifice, commenced in 1050. It is of rough flint; consists of a nave, two ailes, and a square tower, with 8 bells at the west end of the north aile; there is a fine organ. The brasses and monuments are numerous and ancient. The living is a vicarage, in the presentation of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Trinity church was built in 1825, but this fabric has not any endowment for the minister, the Rev. Mr. Prosser. The Cobb family have handsomely found the incomes for two assistant curates. It is in the pointed style, built of brick, cased with Bath stone, and has a nave and two ailes and chancel, with stained glass windows. The tower is 135 feet high, and was partly built at the expense of the Trinity House as a landmark. The Wesleyan Methodist chapel is in Hawley square. The Roman Catholic is in Princes crescent. Zion chapel, Addington Street , belongs to Lady Huntingdon's connexion. Ebenezer chapel, near Cross street, belongs to the Baptists; it has been lately much enlarged and improved. The Seamen's chapel is opposite Zion place. The Calvinist chapel is in Love lane. The Town hall is a plain structure, near the market, and contains some portraits; in it are held the weekly petty sessions, and monthly meetings of the Town Commissioners. The Market was erected in 1820. It is enclosed by porticos, in the Tuscan style, and iron railings. There is a good supply of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables. The market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Droit office is at the end of the pier, and is a handsome building with a portico; it has an illuminated clock. The Custom-house is on a small scale. The Post Office is in Cecil square. The Theatre is a convenient structure, built in 1787. The Assembly Rooms have billiard rooms and coffee rooms attached. The Literary and Scientific Institution was established in 1839; it is in Hawley square; the circulating library already contains 2,000 volumes, principally works of established reputation, The reading-room, under the care of a librarian, is supplied with newspapers and periodicals, and open daily to the subscribers; during the winter season lectures are occasionally delivered, chiefly on scientific subjects; most of these lectures have been illustrated by diagrams and elaborate experiments. The museum of the institution has a very extensive collection of British birds, of which a catalogue of the rarer species will be found at the institution ; the museum also possesses a collection of some of the most curious specimens of plants indigenous to the island; acting Hon. Sec. John Poussett, Esq. The Royal Seabathing Infirmary is at Westbrook; a neat building, with extensive accommodations for 210 indoor patients; it has a considerable income from legacies and gifts. The Gas works belong to the Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs Company. They are in the Dane. Clifton Baths are excavated out of the solid chalk rock, and contain, besides the usual accommodation, a billiard table and an organ. The Bathing Rooms are in High street; they have reading-

rooms attached. There is also another bathing house on the Lower Marine terrace. The Tivoli Gardens are described elsewhere, but may be considered as belonging to the town. Draper’s Hospital is almshouses for widows, founded in 1709. The town contains French bazaars, libraries, reading-rooms, &c, and all the stock amusements of a well-frequented watering place, and as many as 100,000 visitors sometimes arrive during the season. The Charity school provides for the education of 400 children. The Bank is in King street. Messrs. Cobb and Co. are the proprietors. Races are held annually in September on the race course, about a mile from Dandelion. Dandelion, at which are the remains of an ancient mansion with a well prison, is 1½ miles west from Margate, on the London road passing through Westbrook by Garlinge; a handsome castellated gateway, with upper chamber, still gives us an indication of the fame once surrounding the residence of Dann-de-Lyon. Near it are Street, Muthrix, Rankhorn, and Hartsdown: Hartsdown house is a gentlemanly farm fabric, commanding a fine harbour and north sea view, surrounded also with trees, and inhabited by C. T. Hatfield, Esq. Garlinge is a small hamlet, near which, in 1724, upwards of 20 ancient instruments, like adzes or chisels, of mixed brass or bell metal were found. Woodchurch is a hamlet 2½ miles south-west, at which formerly was the chapel of Acol Twenties, 1¾ miles south-west. Shottendane and Salmstone, ½ mile south; here is an ancient Grange or parsonage, once belonging to Christchurch, Canterbury, but now to the See. It has remains of the chapel or infirmary. Chalk Hole is 1¾ miles south-south-west. Vincent, 2 miles south-south-west. Lydden is 2 miles south, and Fleet 2 miles south. Dane had formerly a chapel, erected in pursuance of a licence granted in 1230; it is now in ruins. Nash Court is 1 mile south from Margate, and Nash 1½ miles south, lying to the West of the road to Ramsgate. On the road to Ramsgate are Chapel Hill 1 mile south; Poor Hole 1½ miles south; near it Nash and Westwood, and Jacky Bakers 2½ miles south; near it Northwood. On the road to St. Peter's and Broadstairs are Draper's, ½ mile south-east, where are almshouses and the Quakers' meeting ; near it Updown, Sacket Hill, and Shallows, 1½ miles south. KINGSGATE, formerly Bartholomew Gate, takes its name from a gate through the cliffs, and from its once having been the landing place of King Charles II; and the Duke of York (James II.) It is 1½ miles north of Broadstairs and north-east of St. Peter’s, and 3 miles east of Margate. Here was formerly a seat of the first Lord Holland, built on the design of the Norman villa of Cicero. The grounds he decorated with models of ancient buildings and ruins, and on the Downs erected a monument to commemorate a battle fought in the year 800 between the English and the Danes. It was afterwards the property of the celebrated Charles James Fox. From the coast is a fine view of the passing shipping; and to the north is Foreness, the

north point of Kent, Long Nose Spit and Kemp's stairs, and White Ness, and on the south the North Foreland, the Acantlum Promontorium of the Romans, and the North Foreland light, 63 feet high. On the road to Margate are Northdown, a neat village, West Northdown, and George Hill. Near Northdown is Whitfield Tower, now used as a sea beacon. Hackendown, on the road to the North Foreland, is the scene of the conflict first-mentioned, where two tumuli formerly existed; and the tower of Lord Holland now marks the site. And the adjoining residences in the parish of St. Peter's, altogether make the drives from Margate to the north-east of the Isle of Thanet as attractive to its visitors as do those from Ramsgate to the south-west.
