The Droit House / Margate (2 images)

Originally built 1828 as a harbour-dues/customs office, now an Information Centre. Destroyed by enemy bombing in WW2, it was rebuilt in 1947 to the original plans. Later refurbished and given a circular extension using designs by Terry Farrell and Partners, c.2002.
Above the portico is a neon installation "I Never Stopped Loving You" (2010) gifted by artist and past Margate resident Tracey Emin. Stone Pier, Margate, Thanet District, Kent, UK.
