The charity auction is being held today to sell of the contents of the casino in Ramsgate today, like everything else they have moved of to Westwood Cross where they can be bigger and brasher.However the worry is what will become of the building, we have been a bit unlucky with buildings in this part of Ramsgate, they seem to get demolished, burnt down or washed away by the sea.
The Royal Victoria Pavilion designed by the architect Stanley Davenport Adshead who also designed Ramsgate Library was known by the locals as the Pav, the casino only used a small part of it, the rest is pretty much derelict.
They talk about the Turner Centre in Margate - I do think that bringing back live to the Pavillion would be a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone ??
ReplyDeletethe art will get wet either way. Glad no actual Turners will be destroyed. Of course tdc would serve an immediate restoration notice...
ReplyDeleteI remember when that was a cinema with the hall of mirrors outside.
