More pictures of old Ramsgate

Several of this batch of pictures are of the area of the westcliff that collapsed in March 1947 so some interesting comparisons can be made.Recently a senior council officer told me that much of the cliff support in Ramsgate is completely rotten, worn out and unsafe. Frankly you don’t need to be an expert to see this you can look at the pictures I have published or walk along the town’s coastline a child could identify a lot of the problems. Sorry for the rant but I get annoyed when those running things here seem to have a total disregard for our safety.

  1. I was born in Ramsgate and I am trying to navigate around the high street. I was born there in 61 and left Englanf for Canada in 75 so much has changed. I can't seem to find my berringS. I an old red building that I was told was a bread factory? near Grange road I do believe? I will take any suggestions or ideas of where and how to locate older pictures or information from that time.

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.
