Shell Grotto - Margate UK
A visit to one of Margate's top tourist attractions.
Shell Garden, Bournemouth (1965)
Southbourne, Bournemouth.
Eccentric gentleman has covered everything in his garden with shells. It is like a fairy grotto. Good shots of all the various things he has constructed out of shells. Cement shapes have shells stuck into them along with pieces of broken china, chunks of glass, pieces of tile and clay faces. All very bizarre.
We see the creator of this shell paradise - Mr George Howard - a South Wales coal miner who has retired to Southbourne and created this shell garden.
Lots of tourists wander around his garden. Some throw pennies into his well. The biggest shell in Britain - a giant clam shell - is seen. A little girl sits in it. There are more than a million shells in his garden.
George doesn't charge a fee but asks visitors to give a little money for charity.
Another of Pathe Pictorial's English Eccentrics.

Folly and Grotto - Day Out in Wales
Visit to the Shell Grotto and Folly in Pontypool, Wales with my mother, nephews and their dog.
The Folly was built in the18th century but demolished before WWII so it wouldn't be a landmark for bombers seeking a nearby munitions factory. A public fund was created to rebuild it, using the original stones and it was restored in the 1990s and opened by Prince Charles.
The Shell Grotto is a short walk from the Folly, both are on the edges of Pontypool Park and the Brecon Beacons.
The grotto used to be the home of a series of paid 'hermits' who would add to the decorations with stones, shells and bones. The Hanbury family, who owned the land that is now the park, used to visit periodically to imagine themselves living in a bucolic, pastoral arcadia.

Margate's Shell Grotto
The Shell Grotto is an ornate subterranean passageway in Margate, Kent. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totalling about 2,000 square feet (190 m2) of mosaic, or 4.6 million shells. It was discovered in 1835 but its age remains unknown. The grotto is a Grade I listed building and is open to the public.
The Death Of England
This is a poem I wrote for the Coffin project, although it seems fitting to post it so soon after the UK's EU Referendum.
Coffin is a project by Carolyn Bayliss where she asks people what they would say at the funeral of England. This is my eulogy.
