Every picture tells a story


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.

    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.

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.
