26 Fort Hill

Margate

Above photo, date unknown, showing the "Fort Castle" also known as the "Fort Road Hotel."

The building changed name to the "Fort Hotel," date unknown.

According to Barry J White, the premises has also been known as "Sheppards Hotel," I will assume this was around 1990 when George D Shephard was the licensee.
