February 2022 meeting postponed

Due to the current outbreak of COVID in our community, History Redcliffe Management Committee have decided to postpone our general meeting on 4th February, 2022.

Hopefully by Friday 4th March, the current outbreak may have subsided enough to allow our meeting to be held without risk to our health.

Sincere apologies for any inconvenience this cancellation causes.

We are committed to keeping our members, guests and visitors safe.

Fathers Day

Fathers Day is fast approaching and we’ve got some great gift ideas for you!

Why not give Dad (or Grandad) our latest publication, Memories of Margate? This beautiful book  investigates significant events in Margate’s history beginning with the first government land sales in the 1860s, early landowners, and the gradual development of the area that would one day become the suburb of Margate. Maps and photographs are used to illustrate a story enlivened by oral histories of former and present day residents.

Or head over to our Shop and check out our other publications available for purchase.

Alternatively, give him a gift of membership! What a great way to get support our local history and make new friends in the process!
