Postcards from Dreamland
Dreamland, an abandoned theme park in Margate is in the throws of being resurrected by the local council (although just last week another attempt fell through). The old theme park has some lovely features that have been preserved and the original plan was to have it reopened for the summer season in 2015. Although, based on the local newspaper’s account of the council’s dealings I’m not sure if this deadline will be met, it’s fantastic to see that the theme park will return in some format. For now I have captured what it looks like at present – it has been turned into an Expo which charts the park’s history. Well worth a visit and some fantastic merchandise is also on offer.
That doesn’t look nice. Not very dreamy at all. I can’t imagine who possibly thought that a “dreamland” would ever contain a “tits and ass” saucy seaside cut-out next to a Rolling Stones pinball machine.
