Planning permission has been granted by Thanet District Council under application number F/TH/15/0383 for the “erection of 3-storey building to accommodate six 2 bedroom flats”.

The shop sold stationery supplies and specialized in low cost ink cartridges.

The yellow road sign indicates that the High Street will be closed from 11-13 January. The lorry is parked where the Image is taking place; it is carrying an excavator, so the presence of these vehicles must be linked to why the road is closed.

The scaffolding seems to indicate that the shop is being renovated.

This building on the junction of Grosvenor Hill and High Street, was built as the Cinema de Luxe in 1914-15. It is Grade II listed. The cinema closed in 1987. It is now used as a church. See http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-485480-cinema-de-luxe-kent for more details on the building.

Situated on the corner of the High Street and Mill Lane with pargeting between the windows on the second floor.

It was reported in the Thanet Gazette that a fire had gutted this building on 19 June 2014. The ground floor had previously been occupied by Mattress Wizard and before that was a furniture shop. There had been newly refurbished flats above http://www.thanetgazette.co.uk/Shop-flats-destroyed-Margate-High-Street/story-21262719-detail/story.html

The building, with the blue safety netting covering its frontage, is numbers 47 and 48, Hawley Square, the home of the Make A Wish Foundation. It is grade II listed, dates from the 18th century and was originally two houses converted to one http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-356570-47-and-48-hawley-square-kent A couple of building applications have been applied for through Thanet District Council: F/TH/13/0232 and L/TH/13/0234. The details are the same for both applications, “erection of a four storey rear extension with alteration to roof to create a triple-pitch roof together with alterations to rear wall”. The building to its right is numbers 49 and 50 Hawley Square and was gutted by fire on 6 May 2008. It dates from the late 18th century and is grade II listed http://margatearchitecture.blogspot.co.uk/2008/05/another-listed-building-in-margate-goes.html I assume the scaffolding has been erected to prevent the building collapsing. This is how the buildings appeared almost a year ago Image
