I recently visited Margate on the south coast of England to watch Dulwich Hamlet football club thump the home team 4-1.
I also made sure I got there early enough to take in the sights of this fine town. Here’s 65 photos from my trip:
Greeting you as you leave the station is the startling Brutalist 18-storey residential apartment block, Arlington House, which was completed in 1963.
It’s still the tallest building in Margate and remains unpopular with some residents.
‘Hang Putin.’
I was treated to a splendid February afternoon.

Lost hat.
Looking across the sands to the seafront developments on Marine Terrace.
Faded elegance.

Arlington House dominates the skyline.
Margate harbour contains several micropubs.
The Turner Contemporary gallery can be seen on the right.
