Great Britain: Margate Skating Rink, Concert Hall, Swimming Baths & Aquarium Co. Ltd., £5 shares, 187[6], #248, scrollwork at left, black, embossed seal. The group of attractions were known as the Marine Palace, gradually built from the 1870's until they were featured in the Illustrated London News in 1885. Sadly, with the exception of the brick building, the baths, shops, and concert hall, were all swept away in the great storm of 1897. The switchback railway at the entrance to the Palace was also destroyed. A local photographer published volumes of prints of the storm, such was the effect on the town. VF.
