Lombard Street, Margate Years lived in house: 3 years Age of Property: Originates from the late 1600’s Favourite colours / materials to work with (in renovating / decorating): We were very lucky to be able to work with some fantastic materials such as limecrete for walls and floors and left these to reveal their raw beauty rather than cover them.

What happened to The Curio!?

April 7, 2014 by thecurioinmargate

So having done a little interview with beachwalk muse recently I decided to do a quick post – its been a while – this time it’s about me! So life has changed dramatically recently, my world has become suddenly smaller but much greater emotionally. Each day revolves around my daughter ‘Dulcie’ born 16th Feb 2014, a date forever ingrained in my mind. She consumes every moment, be it feeding, burping, washing her, cuddling her, trying to get her to sleep and […]

Haeckels………

November 8, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you?  I am Dom Bridges, creator of Haeckels. Why Cliftonville?  I guess to promote this side of Margate drag people up the hill to Cliftonville, sell the natural beauty & health benefits of living on the English coast. Strangely this very shop was one of the reasons why we moved here in the first place, we came for a drink here one night at Moonbow Jakes, nothing else seemed open for miles it felt like a beacon & […]

Pugins Grange……………

July 12, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

The Grange is a grade I listed building designed by Augustus Pugin built between 1843 & 1844. 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, […]
