A lovely trip to Margate.
After visiting a photography exhibit at Turner Contemporary, I was inspired. So I walked along the promenade and captured Margate's ratty, rusty and redundant life.
With the breathtaking views and fun things to do, we often miss the dilapidation and the wastefulness of the things that are no longer useful to us.

Shell Grotto, Margate, Kent, England. In 1835 Mr James Newlove lowered his son into a hole in the ground while digging a pond. The young boy re-appeared and spoke of an underground labyrinth of chambers covered in strange symbolic mosaics of shells. It is still unclear exactly what the purpose of this grotto was but many believe it to have been an ancient pagan temple, whilst others dismiss it as being the meeting place of a strange cult.
