Historic Margate - Beach Boys and Bathing Belles: a Seaside Trail through Victorian Margate

Travel back to the delights of sea bathing in Victorian Margate. 

In this quest you are racing against the imminent arrival of the Paddle Steamer, bringing with it a rather straight-laced Aunt. 

See if you can enjoy some of the many delights that there were on offer for the Victorian holidaymaker at this highly popular sea resort and still make it to your Bathing Hut in good time to enjoy a rejuvenating dip just as you like it. 

Telescopes are optional!

Die Mission: Deine Geschichte in Margate

As a visitor to sunny Margate you are keen to have a revitalising 'sea bath' with a dear friend. 

However, you hear from a cousin that your Aunt has already boarded a Paddle Steamer and is on her way. She has been scandalised by the reports of "promiscuous" (or mixed gender bathing) and men without bathing suits that she's read in the Observer so she has come armed with much moral indignation and her best telescope. 

Can you get get round the course and get your dip in the sea before she arrives?

I've been a Londoner and a resident of the East End for over twenty years - love this city! Also love exploring other countries all over the world and finding fascinating, quirky spaces that are off the beaten track.
