**RAMSGATE ASSEMBLY**\\
Kentish towns lying on the point of land north of Dover, Ramsgate and Margate developed as resorts with the vogue for sea bathing at the very
end of the eighteenth century. Enterprising dancing masters, innkeepers, or others who could obtain large halls sponsored commercial public dances
or assemblies for daytime and evening entertainment during the holiday season.
