I have a local history question today, question and answer below, if anyone has any further information please post it in the comments box.I have recently been viewing your website about Ramsgate, and found it very interesting, and would like to ask you a question if I may about the new road that leads down to the Harbour, with the arches.The question is, would you know when the work on this road was started and completed, its just out of curiosity really.Thank you in advance.Regards John.
Hi John the it was built in the 1890s there is some reference to how it came to be built in Ramsgate Illustrated a Reprint of an 1895 guide that I publish see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/ri/id3.htm best regards Michael.

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.
