The Margate collection

A gallery of photographs from my recent trip to the English seaside town of Margate. They capture a resort in decline, but with a revived old town area thanks in part to the presence of a major art gallery by the sea.

Great set of images – I did something along these lines in Hastings yesterday but not as varied or artistic as these!

  Thank you very much, Diana. Perhaps Hastings doesn’t offer the same subject matter as Margate. I hope to see them soon.

The man at the beach in the striped shirt is still my favorite. He has a story I’d love to write.

  Yes, mine too. It would be great if he saw the photograph, then the story might be told!

A great collection of images! :) Now all you need is a gallery in Margate to display them! :D Thanks for bringing to life an old haunt.
