these pictures taken in earrly 1996 during the redevelopment of dreamland margate,after it was bought from bembom bros.
the area shown was an embankment which we excavated & mucked away,it was then block paved for the new rides to stand on. you will notice to the left of top picture the scenic railway.

Jarvo's Kobelco, and Moonys 3CX and my old Hitachi .. its a shame they let dreamland go like the way they did .. it was not a bad fun park after the revamp .. and as for the scenic railway, will they ever rebuild it again

Its not quite gone yet Nick, but after the fire back in the summer when 40% of the roller coaster was burnt away, mysteriously, of course, there is nothing left down there .. all because some one wants to build more useless flats ..hundreds of them.
