Description: | Margate became a popular resort for the English nobility in the late 18th century. Fashionable people came to follow the new trend of sea-bathing as a health restorative. These tourists generally preferred to stay in houses built inland for the parade. Margate Pier was rebuilt in 1789 but later damaged by a storm. The harbour was not fully developed until it was renovated by John Rennie in 1810. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Macgiven, I & W | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Beaches Water Transport Seaside Cartography And Topography Leisure And The Arts Science And Technology Architecture Coastal Views Holidays Sailing Ships Resorts Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Hill, J | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
