Former coastguard station, St Margaret's Bay
This former coastguard station, now called 'The Lookout', apparently boasts a Second World War bunker hidden 35ft below ground once housing the Magnetron radar system which played a key role in the 1940 Battle of Britain. After being decommissioned in 1994 it became a private residence which until fairly recently included a tea room. The Dover Patrol Memorial can be seen in the background.
Ornamental boat at St Margaret's at Cliffe
The boat has been named 'The Spirit of St Margaret's', has stood at the junction of Bay Hill and Granville Road since 2012 and was built to commemorate the Olympic Games held that year.
