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.
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.

ReplyDeleteI remember many years ago the cliff top area there gained extra fencing and seemed "unsafe" although no one ever told me why. Even when I was a child that lift seemed to be run down and a relic. That was some 20 years ago. I'm no engineer so I couldn't really say but my gut says you are right but the timing might be longer than 2008 - 2009/2010 maybe (we all know the council has no priority for Ramsgate).
