In respect of Turner he stayed at Mrs Booths Guest House which is where the Turner Contemporary is now situated. Early in his life he schooled just a short walk away at the junction of Love Lane/Hawley Street.


Just to the east of Love Lane is King Street where Frances 'King' Cobb lived, and this house is situated.  A banker and brewer known as the 'King of Margate'

Would it be George Sanger the Circus owner that called himself "Lord Sanger" murdered in 1905?

The company of the person who lived in the house was behind the house. It covered a large area.

Margate? If so maybe Turner?


Margate - yes   Turner - no.


The person who lived there had a nickname that had a hint of royalty  (but they weren't).

This town has a station and a clock tower. We've been here before.

More clues to follow.

Thanks JohFilmer.  It was the only line I could think of that matched.  It was then just a matter of searching for the correct bridge.  The pylons etc helped.


Next one ...


Where is this, and who lived here?
