Old photographs of Ramsgate
After my altercation during my attempt to photograph Ramsgate library I went through the photographs on the computer looking for old pictures of the library. I have found 3 so far click here to look at them I also have put a few other ones up that may interest you all. I am sorry to say that I have rather lost track of which photographs I have published so apologies for any repetitions. The sailing ship leaving the harbour is the Bounty, built in Sunderland in 1875 and originally named Alastor she arrived in Ramsgate in 1946. the buildings by the west pier are part of Moses shipyard. You will also note in the two pictures of the inside of the library that the people shown are reading, something I hope we will still be able to there when the council and tourist information office move in.

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.
