I appear to have some readership in Canterbury so I thought that these pictures of their October 1909 flood caused by unusually heavy rain could be of interest to them.

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.
A couple of years ago I lived in the white house on the right of this picture. I remember when we lived there, somebody mentioned insurance in relation to the Stour's proximity. I remember thinking "I wonder if it floods here." Glad I didn't see this picture while I lived there!
