Margate's Seaside Heritage
Product Code: 51335Authors: Nigel Barker, Allan Brodie, Nick Dermott & Gary Winter
Margate has an important place in the story of seaside holidays. It vies with Scarborough, Whitby and Brighton for the title of Englands first seaside resort, and it was the first to offer sea-water baths to visitors. It is unlikely that Margate will ever attract the vast numbers of visitors that flocked there in the 19th and early 20th centuries. However, with growing concerns about the environmental effects of air travel and a continuing awareness of the threat of excessive exposure to the sun, the English seaside holiday may enjoy some form of revival.
