We have just finished this little Westgate-on-Sea Guide (circa 1923) it’s coming out of the printer now and should be ready on Monday.The original is owned by Julian Smith and was scanned by James Brazier who then sent it to me as a computer file, for publication, many thanks to them for their kindness, enabling us all to have a copy.
As with many of these guides the advertisements, that funded the original publication, have now become important documents for those of interested in the history of the Isle of Thanet.
I am afraid due to my own incompetence I don’t have the contact details of Julian Smith and James Brazier, so I am unable to send them some free copies of the book.
So if either of you read this please email me
From your sample pages I see we used to enjoy 'a perfect system of drainage' and 'a constant supply of pure water' here on the island.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic then that, after more than 80 years of progress, we're possibly about to get a constant supply of impure water, thanks to CGP's imperfect system of drainage!
