Yes, especially with the Candlelit garden of Bournemouth. It all sounds very magical and would inspire the imagination of old and young alike.

I have a small folly of my own - tumbled down and needing refurbishment in my own back garden. The shells inside were inspired by the shell grotto fad that grew over 100 years ago directly linked to Margate one. The girl who helped put the shells on the wall is still alive today and tells me she had a great time putting the shells on the cement with fish glue.

The Margate Grotto seems to be from times ancient (or maybe secret) enough to warrant not having any history on it, until found in the Victorian times. It's a shame that they can't get a good carbon date - I would be fascinated to know :-)
