It has a fascinating history and is full of interesting stuff - plus some great films. Really worth going to; its looked after by volunteers.

The Grade II listed Deal Timeball Tower was built in 1820. It has recently been renovated. It is programmed to drop at 13:00 every day, and it's so exciting to see it in action and to think of its history. The time signal allowed ships in the area to check the accuracy of their chronometers in order that they could navigate accurately. Do visit this lovely Tower. You can tie it into a trip to The Pier Kitchen!

The Timeball Tower is situated on the seafront at Deal and was established in 1855. Within the museum there are video, static and interactive displays covering three centuries of involvement in signalling, the fight against smuggling, and as a vital link in safe navigation of distant oceans. The museum is on 4 floors with no ramp or lift access. If you have a disability, please telephone the museum in advance. Groups and coach trips are welcome, but please give prior notice.
