EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment in time from the 1910s at Margate, Kent, as the guests and some of the staff of No. 1 & 2 Boarding Establishment gather for a group photo by the main entrance. The scene is filled with the joy and excitement of a seaside holiday, with families and children dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly posing for the camera. The staff, dressed in their professional attire, stand proudly among the guests, adding a sense of warmth and hospitality to the image. Margate, located on the North Sea coast of Kent, was a popular holiday destination during the early 20th century. The town's reputation for its therapeutic sea air and beautiful beaches attracted visitors from all walks of life, making it an ideal location for a boarding establishment. No. 1 & 2 Boarding House offered its guests a home away from home, providing comfortable accommodations and excellent service. The main entrance of the establishment, adorned with colorful flowers and a welcoming mat, serves as the perfect backdrop for this group photograph. The sunny day and clear blue sky add to the idyllic setting, making it a cherished memory for those who were there and a fascinating glimpse into the past for us today. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British seaside holiday and the importance of coming together to create lasting memories with loved ones. It is a reminder of simpler times, when the pleasures of a day at the beach and the company of good friends and family were all that was needed for a truly enjoyable holiday experience.
