Inside Ramsgate maritime museum in 2010. This is the first quarter of the pictures I took then if there is some interest in this post I will do a post with some more of the pictures in it. The main reason that I took the pictures was to record what was in the museum in case anything subsequently vanished. I used to visit the museum quite a lot as they sold some of the local books that we publish here at Michael's Bookshop. This expanded into them giving me permission to publish the books that they had produced in the past and subsequently run out of and couldn't afford to reprint.
News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.

Ramsgate Margate picts and video about Neil Gaiman short stories
Margate jetty first picture
Next Ramsgate seafront on the right the building that eventually became Nero's nightclub before it got demolished
Then a couple of the convent of the assumption in Ramsgate, I'm pretty sure of the second one but not entirely certain correct me if I'm wrong
Then a couple of Margate Harbour
Then a couple of tram pictures
Then a couple of pub pictures
Alexandra Arms Ramsgate began as an 1800s beer house I think it eventually became the blazing donkey st Luke's avenue
The canon inn Ellington place Saint Lawrence
Then a couple of ship pictures the second one the file name says Urchis
Then another tram picture looks like Margate
Van camping at pegwell I'm pretty sure this is where the Viking ship is located now and I would guess a picture to date from the 1930s
Then some sort of march past I think this is Ramsgate
Last but not least. The file name says some of the moody family outside there ashburnham road house
As you can guess from the rather short or missing picture descriptions it's busy here at Michael's bookshop in Ramsgate and I even had the Thanet local history tick tocker, planet Thanet and other things in making a short film here in the bookshop. I do recommend having a look at her local history tiktoks. Apologies for bad grammar lack of capitalization americanisms I just spoke this whole thing in using my gboard on my phone.
