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.
Michael, do you think the picture with the Queens Head could be the Plains of Waterloo hill leading up to the Iron Duke on the left?
ReplyDeleteTony after some research I believe that the picture is of Harbour Parade in about 1870 the buildings on the right are the back of harbour masters house and the pier house demolished in 1890. the Queens Head and the other buildings on the left were also demolished to make way for the buildings that are there today. When I have done some more detailed research I will publish it up with some more pictures.
