Margate's shell grotto.
We followed a sign to the shell grotto and discovered an amazing place, found by accident in 1835 it opened to the public in 1838. It was partially destroyed in WW2, so one wall is bare cement but the rest of the rooms and tunnels are covered with millions of shells, most of which were found locally.
