The Scenic Railway has gone?
damn, Im genuienly saddened by that.

The Shell Grotto was a favourite of mine when I was a kid. Hope thats still there.

Some of the Railway still stands but it took a beating.
The Shell Grotto is still going - the family who used to own it (coincidentally their daughter went to school with me) sold it to a lady who is now a driving force in the Margate art scene and the whole regeneration of the old town.
