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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Clare & Ian…………………

May 10, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? I am a designer/maker working with paper and textiles and author of several craft books. Ian is a graphic designer and an artist. Why Broadstairs? We were really looking in Ramsgate but driving around Broadstairs on one of our house hunting trips, we saw a hand written ‘for sale’ sign in a window. We were able to see the house straight away, fell in love with it, made an offer that evening and moved in 6 months later. […]

Fontaine Decorative…………

April 12, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you?  Kiel Shaw and Stuart Atkinson – owners of Fontaine. Why Margate?  Stuart is originally from the area and has always wanted to come back.  How do you define style?  We see it as a natural expression of your own individuality.
