Margate, a coastal town in Kent, has long relied on its connection to the sea since its inception. It holds a notable distinction as one of the earliest destinations to be developed as a seaside resort during the Georgian era. The town's sandy beaches gained popularity among Londoners, particularly with the introduction of steam packets in 1815 and further escalating with the arrival of railways in the nineteenth century. However, the shifting trends in holidaying within the UK impacted Margate's fortunes in the later decades of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, in recent times, the town has experienced a resurgence, marked by significant developments such as the Turner Contemporary Gallery.
In his book, author Andy Bull unveils the hidden history of Margate, encompassing its founding as the world's first sea-bathing hospital and the playground of Regency royalty. The town has attracted artists, writers, and actors, boasting the most haunted theatre in the country and the first modern bungalow. Secret Margate delves into lesser-known episodes and characters throughout the town's centuries, appealing to anyone with an interest in the history of this Kent town.
