Margate Lifeboat Station. 'In 1898 a building and slipway was constructed on the pier to allow the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Margate Lifeboat Station to be relocated to the pier. The Margate lifeboat was one of the Little Ships of Dunkirk that sailed to France in May-June 1940 to assist with Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of members of the British and French armies ahead of the German advance.'

Margate Jetty / Margate Pier. 'A new iron jetty, designed by Eugenius Birch, was begun in 1853. It became the first iron seaside pier in the world when it opened in 1855, though work to complete it continued until 1857. A pavilion was constructed at the pierhead in 1858 and used as a station building for steamship departures and arrivals. The pier was extended between 1875 and 1878, at which time the distinctive octagonal pierhead was added. On 1 January 1877 the pier was cut through by a shipwreck driven by a storm; between 40 and 50 people were trapped on the seaward side of the break until the next day when they could be rescued. On 24 November 1877 the jetty was struck again by a drifting vessel that caused £4,000 of damage to the structure. Additions were made to the pier in 1893 and 1900.'

Clifton baths / Cliftonville Lido: 'The original Clifton Baths at Margate were constructed between 1824-8 by John Boys. In 1869 the site was sold to Thomas Dalby Reeve who built a drill hall for the local Artillery Volunteers and a boiler house with a tall chimney. By 1903 a cinema had been installed into the former drill hall which was operational until 1924. From 1926 onwards the Clifton Baths were re-modelled under John Henry Iles. The site was turned into a large modern seaside complex with bars, cafes and restaurants on several levels and a large open air swimming pool projecting into the sea. These buildings were built onto and over the remaining parts of the Clifton Baths in a Neo-Classical style with Mediterranean influences, laid out over a series of terraces. From 1938 the name was changed from the Clifton Baths to the Cliftonville Lido. The drill hall in which the cinema was installed survives but has been out of use for many years. Adjacent buildings on the top level remain in commercial operation however sadly much of the once popular entertainment complex that Iles had developed has deteriorated over many years of being abandoned. Below the top level, the remaining long abandoned facilities built during the Clifton Baths years are now Grade II Listed. The rest of the site remains under threat, including the iconic chimney advertisement.' From Cinema Treasures, https://cinematreasures.org/theaters/56493
