I have just put a few more old pictures of Ramsgate up on the web for your amusement click here to look at the rest of them. I have been fairly busy with my continued research into flooding in Ramsgate as you can see from the picture.

Fabulous pictures as usual - it makes just want to yell "Put it all back! Put it all back now!"
Sadly those glory days are gone and I don't see the necessary catalyst to herald in a replacement. It looks like Ramsgate was the place to be back then.
In 1884 the people of Ramsgate managed to get a royal charter and wrest their government from the decaying administration of Sandwich. The government of Sandwich even went as far as tying to prevent the building of Ramsgate harbour and tried to get a canal built to Sandwich harbour that had been left silted up and marooned inland. The rates collected in Ramsgate were then spent on improving Ramsgate.
