I knew I had seen this in Margate but could not remember where. Is it in or close to Lombard Street?

Right town Diapason - Margate.


The 'shelter' looks Victorian but I've not been able to find any information on it yet.

The explorer and Charles Dickens were friends.

Minster Abbey, (or nowadays "The Abbey Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Sexburgha" built on the site of the Abbey), is the significant religious building I refer to.

So we are within 170 yards of my photo.

The building in my photo was once owned by a Victorian explorer.

We are closing in.
