Margate harbour arm
Margate harbour arm

Known these days as the harbour arm, what we would normally call a pier was known in Margate as the Jetty and was destroyed in a storm in 1978.

The harbour arm was completed in 1815 the previous one being destroyed during a storm on the night of 14th January 1808. The lighthouse was added in 1829, but was destroyed in another January storm in 1953; this was replaced soon after with a similar but smaller structure. Many steamers operated out of Margate on cross channel routes and also to Clacton.
