Guess the Place

[John Walker]

That was a good one John Walker ,I searched all sorts at Margate
and never got nearer than Turner and Mrs Booth's house .

Thanks Grandarog.  It seems that Margate has more history than I realised.

I'm not familiar with Margate, but thanks to shoot999 I can give the "camera" position as:

• Nat'l grid:   TR 35453 71086
• Post code: CT9 1DD
• WGS84:     51°23'24"N, 001°22'58"E or 51.3899393,1.3828862

Not Confectionery Beachbum.  The house is still there in King Street, complete with blue plaque.


You've got it Shoot999.  The clues were all there     Over to you.


The Cobbs Brewery was massive and covered quite a large area behind the house as can be seen in the attached photo.  The house in my GTP is on the lower right of the outlined area.  Most of it has gone now and the few remaining buildings appear to have been changed to residential.

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'

Wild guess time, would Chocolates and Confectionery be the product?Does this House still exist?

[John Walker]

Turner is understood to have stayed in this area of Margate.

[John Walker]

Not Lord Sanger, Grandarog..


The product made here would be delivered to various establishments.

[grandarog]

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

[John Walker]

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

[John Walker]

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).

Margate? If so maybe Turner?

Margate - yes   Turner - no.
