The Kowloon Hotel, Cliftonville
Posted: August 26th, 2022 | No Comments »For over 50 years from the late 1890s there was a Kowloon Hotel on Hankow Road in Hong Kong. More surprising to find a Kowloon Hotel on Harold Road, Cliftonville, Margate in Kent in the 1920s and 1930s. Managed by a CF Grandy, who I can only assume was returned from Hong Kong and thought he’d name his new establishment after a Hong Kong icon of the time…though I can find no trace of a CF Grandy in Hong Kong at any point. I can’t find a house number for the property on Harold Road but any Margate people care to wander along the street and speculate i’d love to locate it more precisely?
