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 […]

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 […]

Margate Museum……………….

August 16, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? My Name is Ian Dickie, I am the Chairman of the Friends of Margate Museum, and I have held this position for the last three years. I am semi retired having worked in lecturing, healthcare and catering at all levels. Why do you have such a passion for the Margate Museum? I love history and having moved to Thanet in 1973, I wanted to find out as much as I could about the area. It is important to preserve […]

Graham…………………

June 14, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? Graham Ward; painter, writer, archivist and bookseller; currently operator of the Festival Café in Oscar Road, Broadstairs. Why Margate? In all honesty, when I made the decision to move out of London. Margate would have been my very last choice of a place to settle. I made the move to take up a job that promised much but delivered nothing, and I was therefore compelled to think fast, hence the café – and initially it was a […]

Who are you? The Breuer out of Breuer & Dawson, 7 King St. Ladies and gents outfitters. Why Margate? Miles of smiles. How would you describe your style? Effortless. If you were an animal, what would you be? Rattlesnake. Best and worst thing about your move to Margate? The best-the morning walk along the front from Albert terrace to king street, to open the shop. The worst-hasn’t happened yet. Best and Worst thing about your renovation experience? Best – realising that all the random objects I’ve […]

Paraphernalia………………….

Who are you?  Andrew Davidson, Owner of Paraphernalia, Antiques, Retro and Vintage. 8 King Street Margate. Why Margate?  By mistake, Took a wrong turn on a bank holiday day trip from London and it was love at first sight. How do you define style?  Style is in the eye of the beholder, everyone has their own slant on it. If you were an animal, what would you be?  Magpie, for obvious reasons, I collect a LOT of things. What couldn’t […]
