Alas for those thinking that the Bard might have had some connection with Margate and supped his ale on the seafront here, this Shepherd Neame house at No. 1 Canterbury Road near the railway station commemorates the steam engine No. 70004 William Shakespeare, one of two Britannia Class locomotives that were allocated to the Southern Region of British Railways in the 1950s, specifically for hauling the "Golden Arrow" trains through Kent, although it must be said, not via Margate!
