JEWISH HERITAGE EAST KENT

A new website exploring the Jewish history of Cliftonville.

The first part of the Jewish Heritage East Kent website focuses on Cliftonville - its naval roots; numerous boarding houses; Rowden Hall, which gave refuge to children arriving in England via Kindertransport - and the Margate synagogue itself, which now houses ARK. 

Researched and written by local historian and tour guide Katie Blythe

and designed and built by Nathan Jones,

this website is a collaboration between

Canterbury Christ Church University and ARK, Cliftonville’s Cultural Space.
