Ghost sign outside Margate station
This appears to have been a sign for a motor service station.

Unused platform at Margate station
At the west end of Margate station, this small fenced off yard that once gave access to a bay platform (whose canopy is visible in the centre of the picture) appears to have been unused for quite some time. The platform looks like it would have been used as a parcels bay, but I don't actually know what its purpose was.

Margate: Buenos Ayres
Buenos Ayres is the intriguing name of this short road which runs from near the railway station to the seafront. A Google search failed to find any obvious explanation of how it acquired this name. Perhaps it was just a basic translation into Spanish from "Good airs", as there is a fine uninterrupted view of Margate's sandy beach and its bracing breeze! Anyway the Palace Hotel on the corner is one of several properties on the road offering accommodation to visitors.

Margate: The Shakespeare Public House
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!

Release the Seal
Part of a painted nature mural, seen on the exterior wall of a private residential property.
One of a number of exterior wall on-street murals in the area, part of an arts trail exhibition.
The exterior wall brickwork is visible, as are the textures of the materials worn, the seals fur.

Victoria - Ramsgate express entering Margate
View westward, towards Faversham, Chatham and London: ex-SE&CR (LC&D) London - Kent Coast main line. On Summer Saturdays the operators had to use the older 4-4-0s on many of the numerous Kent Coast trains: here the 11.46 Victoria - Ramsgate has SE&C Maunsell D1 rebuild No. 31145 (built 4/1903 as a Wainwright D, rebuilt 11/22).
