The large building in the background is Pugin's Granville Hotel. Edward Pugin was the son of the celebrated leader of the Gothic Revival, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. Edward was one of three sons and he became a celebrated architect whose work and influence can be seen in various parts of Ramsgate. The inscription on the marble plinth states "In memory of Edward Welby Pugin the gifted and accomplished son of Augustus Welby Pugin one of Englands greatest Architects. Born 11th March 1834 died June 1875. This bust is erected by Edmund F. Davis 1879". The bust is the work of sculptor Owen Hale.
