Pegwell is a small village located in the Dover district of Kent, England. Situated on the northeastern coast of the county, it is part of the larger town of Ramsgate. Pegwell is known for its beautiful natural surroundings, historical significance, and popular tourist attractions.

One of the key features of Pegwell is its stunning coastline. The village is bordered by Pegwell Bay, a picturesque stretch of sandy beach and chalk cliffs. The bay is a designated nature reserve and is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including migratory birds, seals, and rare plants. The area is loved by birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Historically, Pegwell holds great importance as the site where St. Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, landed in 597 AD to bring Christianity to England. The landing is commemorated by the St. Augustine's Cross, a granite cross erected on the cliff top. Additionally, Pegwell Bay was the chosen location for an experimental hoverport in the 1960s, making it a significant site in the history of transportation.

In terms of attractions, Pegwell offers visitors a range of options. The village is home to the Pegwell Bay Hotel, a charming accommodation option with stunning views of the bay. Nearby, visitors can explore the Pegwell Bay Country Park, which offers walking trails, picnic areas, and educational displays about the local flora and fauna. The village is also within close proximity to Ramsgate, which boasts a bustling harbor, sandy beaches, and a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options.

Overall, Pegwell is a picturesque village with a rich history and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility, outdoor activities, and a glimpse into England's past.

Chester Cottage, Cannonbury Road

It appears that scaffolding has been erected, on the front and side of the house, so that repairs and repainting can be carried out to the exterior. This view shows TR3764 : Chester Cottage, Cannonbury Road following its refurbishment.

Restoration and extension of 100, South Eastern Road

Planning permission has been granted by Thanet District Council under application number F/TH/14/0902 for the “change of use of single dwelling to 13 one and two bedroom flats together with erection of four storey side extension and five storey rear extension, with associated access, parking and landscaping”. Shazz’s TR3764 : Derelict house in Ramsgate shows how single dwelling appeared in 2011.

Looking east-northeast across Belmont Road

Towards the derelict, roofless house, which was number 33. To its left are numbers 35-37, which bear a Pearson Gore sold board. This address was described, on the chartered surveyors’ website, as a two storey terrace building of traditional construction. The ground floor is comprised of a warehouse, accessed by a roller shutter door at the front of the property. There is a separate access to a flat above, which has six 6 rooms. The property was on the market for offers in the region of £115,000.

1, Chatham Place

Compared with TR3765 : 1, Chatham Place, the repair and reconstruction of the roof have been completed and a commemorative plaque attached to the frontage, on the left hand side, between the first two ground and first floor windows. This bears the wording: The Ramsgate Society. Viscount Wellesley KG, KP, GCH, PC, FRS, 1769-1852. 1st Duke of Wellington and Prime Minister 1834. Stayed here during the Napoleonic Wars 1803-1815.

B T Tools, Alma Road

There is a Synergy Property Associates board attached to one of the property’s exterior walls, with the words ‘let by’ also on the board. As the signage of the business is so faint, it is probably no longer trading.

Looking northwest up Harbour Street

To where work is being carried out on number 15, whose frontage is covered with scaffolding and plastic sheeting.

15, George Street

Compared with TR3865 : House under construction, George Street, the house has now been given a number, although its front door and ground floor window-frame have yet to receive their top coats of paint.

John Baker

Derelict site, Effingham Street

Compared with TR3864 : Hoarding hiding derelict site, Effingham Street, with the removal of the hoarding, the layout of the site is exposed. It lies on the corner of Effingham Street (to the left) and Guildford Lawn (straight on). Thanet District Council has turned down two planning applications to develop the site, in recent years.

John Baker

23, Addington Street

It appears that this address was once a shop but all traces of the signage has disappeared; it is seen from Albert Street.

John Baker

27, Addington Street

It is a grade II listed building that was once a house and shop dating from around 1830, that was originally two separate buildings. In this view, it can be seen that the one on the left is three storeys and the one on the right, with two storeys, has a parapet above the first floor window. The shop window (now covered with white-painted boards) was fitted with 19th century plate glass Link

John Baker

The Falstaff, 18 Addington Street

Here TR3764 : The Falstaff, Addington Street is seen with the ground floor covered with, what appears to be, plastic sheeting. Planning permission was granted by Thanet District Council under application number L/TH/14/0190 for the “change of use from public house with guest and function rooms to guest house with guest function and guest dining room open to the public”. It is a grade II listed building that was built, as a public house, between 1801 and 1821; it was then altered in the late 19th century. It was originally two separate private houses and this was indicated, as such, on Collard and Hurst’s 1821 plan of Ramsgate Link
