Prints of Ramsgate in the early eighteen hundreds

A charming gentleman with a long association with Ramsgate, came into the shop with some prints for me to scan today, so we can all share them. Click here to view them, sorry about all the withs.

    Fantastic, especially the colour wash one. You wouldn't believe it's the same place. Here we are 200 years later and there's more development... All the additions then, now that's what I call development; wasn't it supposed to encourage the visitors from the town to the 'seaside'?

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.
