Margate

Situated 16 miles to the north east of Canterbury, has a population of over 50,000. Margate's proximity to London and its nine miles of sandy beaches made it a popular resort in Victorian times and it continued to develop throughout the twentieth century as a seaside resort, sometimes referred to as the Blackpool of the south, with its large funfair and amusement park.
