Underpinning at Ramsgate Harbour January 1909

I am assuming that this picture is of underpinning the crosswall, it is difficult to read all of the text on the back click here to see it.

I am certain about the following.

“On spring tides great …… is …….. from the water which ……. through the back of the wall. In some sections of the underpinning this water has had to be led through the new ……. in a pipe.”

It probably reads.

“On spring tides great pressure is experienced from the water which passes through the back of the wall. In some sections of the underpinning this water has had to be led through the new work in a pipe.”

Anyone got any better ideas?

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
