Thanet in a year…………..

November 15, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Pugins Grange……………

July 12, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

It is an important building in Ramsgate, as it is the house that he built for himself & his family to live in. He was a devout catholic man & wanted to bring Catholicism back east Kent & so a church & monastery were also part of his plan. Pugin spearheaded & drove the early – mid Victorian phase of the Gothic Revival, […]

Ben & Hayley………………………….

June 28, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? Benjamin. Hayley, and Caspar of Junk Deluxe fame. Why Ramsgate?  A great sense of community.  It’s lovely to know all the neighbours, and not being able to walk up the road without seeing people you know. How would you describe your style?  Eclectic. If you were an animal, what would you be?  Benjamin: a duck-billed platypus, Hayley: A chaffinch, Caspar: A dinosaur, sometimes he really thinks he already is. Best and worst thing about your move to […]
