Outing to Margate - 19th July 2008
Three of the twelve shell ladies that were dotted around Margate. On the historic walk we saw 9 of them. They each represent a famous (or infamous) lady of Margate.
The "Shell Ladies" are 7ft sculptures made from scallop shells collected from local fisherman during the year. (http://www.theshelllady.co.uk/Gallery.html)

Tudor House. After the Napoleonic wars it was converted into three cottages for returning soldiers.
After the second world war it was in a bad state of disrepair and was nearly demolished. Instead it was restored and is now open for viewing (free of charge).
