IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Edgar Road, MARGATE, CT9 2EA

The name of this former institution can be seen on the black “triangle” above the hoarding. This was probably situated over the front entrance. The boarded up windows, on the first floor, indicate that the building is disused.

One of the terrace of houses along a road. Has Image on the side.

Planning permission has been granted by Thanet District Council under application number F/TH/17/0842 for the “change of use and extension of former residential home (use class C2) along with the erection of a 5 storey building to create twelve 2-bedroom and three 3-bedroom apartments and associated works together with the demolition of existing extensions”.

On Image See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Foord-Kelcey for more details on this cricketer and mathematics professor!

Just beyond Bugsy’s Tenpin Bowling establishment was Franks Nightclub. At present, the frontage is clad in scaffolding, above hoarding, which hides the ground floor. However, planning permission has been granted by Thanet District Council under application number F/TH/17/0132 for the “change of use from nightclub (use class sui-generis) to restaurant (use class A3), offices and [a] 1 3-bed self contained flat.

Two information boards, affixed to the scaffolding boards on the first floor, read “the Dalby Square Townscape Heritage Initiative Scheme”.

It is funded 75% by the Heritage Lottery Fund with 25% match funding from Thanet District Council.

I wonder what happened to this end of the terrace, as it has been reduced to the ground floor and basement.

Thanet District Council has set up a long-term programme called ‘Live Margate’ that involves buying existing properties and turning them into quality family homes. The buildings that are being targeted are those that have been derelict and unoccupied for years and this is one of them, partly hidden from view by scaffolding and polythene sheeting http://thanet.gov.uk/the-thanet-magazine/campaigns/live-margate/
