PIGOTS 1840 – BROADSTAIRS & ST PETERS Broadstairs
(Bradstow the ancient designation) is a small sea port and hamlet in the parish
of St Peter and the lathe of St Augustine, in the Isle of Thanet – 75 miles E.
from London and 2 NE by E. from Ramsgate. In former times it was a place of some
consequence, but subsequently declined to an inconsiderable village, until
fashion still more recently reanimated it, and elevated it to the rank of a
watering place amongst the many, that are much resorted to by genteel families.
For the accommodation of visiters many new buildings have been erected,
libraries opened, and an hotel established; the baths, likewise, are most
convenient, and arranged with every requisite; those under the superintendence
of Mr BARNES and Mr CRAMPTON are the principal and most highly
favoured of these sanitary establishments. From several points the sea views are
very fine; and for those who prefer tranquillity to the noise and excitement
inseparable from more crowded places, Broadstairs possesses numerous
attractions. A chapel of ease to St Peters was erected here in 1828. St
Peters is about a mile from Broadstairs and two miles from Margate. The Ranelagh
Gardens, the pre-eminent magnet of resort to this village, were fitted up by Mr NEWBOLT
several years since, at a very great expense; and the present proprietor, Mr HUDSON
unremittingly evinces the most anxious solicitude to promote the enjoyment of
visiters to this delightful scene of recreation. The gardens cover an area of
about two acres and a half, interspersed with splendid marquees, and a pleasing
and beautiful series of cosmoramas; as many as two thousand persons have
assembled here in one day. The ordinary price of admission is one shilling, for
which refreshments to that amount are supplied. The amusements commence about
four o’clock, and last till dusk, during which time and excellent band for
quadrilles and country dances is in attendance. In the rear of the principal
garden is a bowling green, kept in the best condition. These are the healthful
enjoyments that are provided at Saint Peters, Ranelagh – gratuitously, it may
be considered. Public breakfasts take place twice a week during the season; and
latterly the gardens have been opened and brilliantly illuminated for night
galas. The church of St Peters is a fine old structure, surmounted by a tower
that has long served as a well defined landmark to mariners; the benefice is a
vicarage, in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury and present incumbency of
the Rev. John HODGSON – The parish of St Peters (including the hamlet
of Broadstairs) contained in 1831, 2,342 inhabitants; and the population has
since that time considerable increased.
