The Shell Grotto, Margate, Kent

Shell grotto
Found in 1835, whilst digging for a duck pond, the shell grotto is an anomaly. As the name suggests, the underground passage and chamber are covered everywhere in local shells, arranged in pictures and patterns. No-one knows why or when the grotto was built, but there are many speculations including the builders being the knights templar.
