  • Abstract
    English seaside town Margate is built on a heritage of seaside attractions. Like many British seaside towns threatened by the irreversible decline of their traditional attractions, Margate, is attempting to reinvent itself. With much of its hope for revival pinned on regeneration through the arts, some people are looking forward to a multi-million pound art gallery to be built in celebration of the artist JMW Turner, for whom Margate´s sunsets provided inspiration. However, nostalgia buffs believe that the town´s existing heritage can prove an attraction, and are hoping to preserve some of its assets. One of these is the Dreamland Amusement Park.
