Dreamland Remembered:
90th Anniversary Edition
by Nick Evans
Margate's Dreamland park opened in July 1920 and millions flocked
to enjoy its attractions in the decades that followed. A visit to the
Kent coast resort wasn't complete without a ride on the famed
Scenic Railway, the Looping Star, the Big Wheel or the dodgem cars.
Dreamland 's trendsetting 1930s cinema led the way in design while
the ballroom became famous for dancing and big name music
concerts. Its restaurants fed the hordes descending on Margate for
their beanfeast outings. Later on, it would hold its own as an
exciting theme park .
The resort's decline in recent years has taken its toll, leaving many
yearning for a return to simpler times when candy floss and kiss me
quick hats were the order of the day.
This edition of Dreamland Remembered, updated and expanded to
celebrate the park's 90th anniversary, contains a nostalgic collection
of nearly 250 illustrations from its earliest days to the latest ideas to
create a heritage theme park .
