Lucy the Elephant

By the late 1960s, Lucy was in serious disrepair. That’s when the Save Lucy Committee was formed—a dedicated group that still cares for her today. As Margaret Mead famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world." And indeed, they did. Just look at Lucy now! ✨🐘

Step back in time with this rare glimpse of Lucy from the ocean, captured before 1929. Though the photo’s a bit grainy, history shines through in the details—Margate’s long-lost boardwalk stretching along the shore and the grand Turkish Pavilion with its distinctive onion-shaped domes standing proudly behind Lucy. A gem of a shot! ✨🐘

A rare glimpse inside Lucy’s past! 📸✨ Almost no photos exist of Lucy’s interior before the 1970s, making this a truly special find. Notice the small triangular door behind the couple—an excellent example of Victorian architecture. No, it’s not a secret passageway… just a closet! 🐘
