Description: | Margate became a popular resort for the English nobility in the 18th century. Fashionable people came to follow the new trend for sea-bathing as a health restorative. Elegant new houses and a stone pier were built to accommodate the visitors. This picture shows the storm in 1808 which carried off a pier built in 1789. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Hassel, J at Bunford, E | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Beaches Cartography And Topography Coastal Views | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Hassel, J | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
