  1. The dreamland sign with the Tower block n the background works really well. If Dreamland was not as derelict as it is in the photo it wouldn’t have worked. Not sure the Margate tourist Office will have you back to shoot their next brochure though.

    The Bandstand photo with the ice cream also works really well

    • My favourites are those abstract sea wall pics. Ironically Dreamland was refurbished and reopened after my pics so I most definitely wot be asked back by the tourist office! I think the bandstand photo is OK but that kind of shot has been done better by Martin Parr

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
