Thanet in a year…………..

November 15, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

This volume of The Curio represents a year of discovery & development in Thanet. I have documented beautiful & interesting spaces, incredible heritage & architecture, amazing people who live & work in one of the most vibrant of seaside locations & things that might otherwise go unnoticed. Each & every day I discover something new – for a small place there is a lot to talk about, to be proud of & to look forward to. There are still many […]

Alex…………….

November 1, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you?  Alexander Verier. Editor, designer & thinker behind Brink Magazine & Apparel. Why Margate?  Margate is an incredible place: I’ve seen it go from a bustling town where I’d always go shopping to an empty shell & now to its current inspirational status. Margate is now synonymous for me with everything that Brink stands for & for that I really love it. There is still a long way to go to make it a perfect place but to […]

Lauren & Noam………

October 25, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you?  Lauren Wright, curator and writer, and Noam Leshem, political geographer. Why Margate? Lauren: a job came up here in 2010 and when I came for interview I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was from the minute I stepped off the train. We’d been living in London for over five years, and I didn’t realize how much I missed open sky (I’m from Colorado originally). Once I got the job, Noam came with me to look for […]

A re-visit with the Mad Hatter……..

September 13, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Remind Us – Who are you? My Name is Peter Clements-Bullett. I own & run ‘The Mad Hatter Tea Rooms’ in Margate & I own & live in the yellow Christmas house on Margate seafront. How do the Interiors of your home and cafe differ? They are very similar, except my home is only decorated in yellow whilst the tea room has a red room upstairs & green toilets. Also I have even more objects in my home. How would you […]

Paula & Greg…………………….

August 2, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? Paula, Greg, Josh and Jake Patton.  Why Broadstairs? It was love at first sight. We came for the day and ended up going home having bought a house. Broadstairs is the quintessential British seaside town. How do you define style? We don’t really have a specific style. We just buy things we love to look at. (Well, when we say we, most of our purchases involve Greg who is a junkyard/boot sale junkie!) Sometimes half the fun is figuring out exactly what […]

Richard………………………

July 26, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? I am Richard Harris a 44 year old stone mason who loves and champions Thanet. Why Margate / Broadstairs? We have sea on all sides of Thanet and I manage to see it at least once every day. If you were an animal, what would you be? An Arizonian barking toad. Describe a day in the life of a stonemason? No two days are the same and you are constantly learning, there is always something to challenge you. Object […]

Neil………………..

July 19, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? Neil Sparkes – Musician, Visual Artist, Writer. Why Margate? I grew up in Deal, Kent and have known and loved this coastline since I was a kid. I lived in Cuba in the 1990’s and find there’s a strange parallel to the Margate sea front and the Malecon in Havana, but with the uniquely British “out of season” months which I love. There seems to be a gravitational pull to the coast from the city. It was […]
