About Fencing in Margate
Margate in Kent became a fashionable resort after a passion for sea bathing swept the country in the 1730s, and the building of Cecil Square soon after marked the first new square of its kind built at an English seaside resort. Steamers and later trains brought ever growing crowds through the 19th century, and in 1920 promoter John Henry Iles opened the Dreamland amusement park, which drew around 1.5 million visitors in its first year alone. After decades of decline and closure, a local Save Dreamland campaign helped bring the park back to life in 2015, alongside the opening of the Turner Contemporary gallery, both of which have helped revive the town's fortunes.
