Quick facts
Middle Street became the first conservation area in Kent in 1968.
Deal grew into a busy port because the Downs anchorage off its beach often held 100 to 200 windbound ships, and at times more than 300.
Smuggling here peaked in 1737, and in 1784 a government expedition destroyed the smugglers' boats.
