Gala Damage At Margate (1938)

Margate, Kent. Brief shots of the wreckage left on the sea front at Margate after severe storms. A pier looks like it has been broken in two. Rocks and what looks like slate roof tiles cover the ground and holiday beach chalets are wrecked. A few people walk along the front past the debris and small upturned boats - the weather still looks quite bad. Note: there is only about 13 seconds of visuals; the remainder is soundtrack only.
