About me

Introduction	This blog has been set up by the archive department of the Dreamland Trust, whose aim is to restore the world-famous theme park in Margate and to re-open it to the public as essentially the UK's first historical amusement venue. Efforts to establish a working archive will be ongoing throughout the life of the project, and the purpose of this blog is to keep interested parties informed of its findings and progress. It will feature articles written by myself and other members of the team, and may be seen as an addenda to the existing 'Save Dreamland' website (www.savedreamland.co.uk). Periodically, we will welcome memories from those for whom Dreamland remains a fundamental part of their own histories, in addition also, it is hoped their ephemera, photographs and home- movies of the Dreamland experience in its hey-day might be loaned or given to us for the archive. We will keep you informed of upcoming events in the Save Dreamland calendar as they are planned. Please note that at this stage, we are unable to enter into any personal correspondence, but would very much welcome your comments. Also, wherever possible, we will credit photographs used and sources cited.
