Kingsdown: A Charming Coastal Village with a Rich History Nestled between the picturesque St Margarets Bay and St Margarets At Cliffe in Kent, lies the quaint village of Kingsdown. This idyllic coastal destination has captivated visitors for centuries with its stunning natural beauty and fascinating historical landmarks. Dating back to the early 1900s, Kingsdown near Deal was once a thriving hub of activity. Its vibrant community thrived around the local Kingsdown Post Office, which served as a vital lifeline for residents and visitors alike. Today, remnants of this bygone era can still be seen in old photographs that showcase the bustling streets and charming architecture.
