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.
With today’s high winds one is reminded that the people of The Isle of Thanet have fought a constant battle with the sea on many levels and over many years. Memorials of the Goodwin Sands is one of my favourite books about this struggle so I have published a large part of it on the internet for you to read click here to view it
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.
Thanks Michael, it's a great resource for history lovers. I've just been looking at it. While I was I added it to Stumble Upon so others can find out about it (if you've not got an account there I highly recommend it).
