MARGATE STORM DAMAGE 1978 

Its a shame a new pier was never built....which could have incorporated the life boat launch and maybe a sea life centre which would have attracted much tourism and day trippers...as a boy i went fishing on margate pier and had such nice times there...its a shame that many millions was spent on the turner centre housing some prints but no money for a new pier which could have been so nice for so many people !!!!!

Dit is 'n wonderwerk dst die huisie op die see ongeskonde gebly het.

I’m in Margate right now and there is just a pier abandoned at sea with no way to get to it because the storm destroyed the rest

needs some new stuff building...
