Pub history
For many years, the Mechanical Elephant was one of Margate’s most popular attractions. Driven by a petrol engine, the life-size elephant carried hundreds of children along the seafront. The greater part of the building you are now in [nos 28–29 Marine Terrace] was the long-time premises of William Robinson, Confectioner. Number 30 had been a restaurant. Originally, the properties were seaside apartment houses, built in early Victorian times.
