I am working on a reprint of a little book about Minster at the moment I hope to have it out in the next week or so, I haven’t got many pictures of Minster that I know of so have been asking around for some attractive ones for the cover.Many thanks to Dave who came up with these click here to look at them.
As I spend a great deal of my time trying to find the answers to local history questions for people, and don’t charge anything for doing this, so I was quite surprised when of my customers today said that he wanted to access some information in the Kent local studies archive at Maidstone, they told him he would have to pay £27.40 per hour for the archivists time.
Assuming the archivist works a 40 hour week that means wages of over 1,000 per week, which all seems a bit excessive to me

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.
