Yes the chaps in the picture really are working on the edge of the cliff with no health and safety equipment at all, they are digging out the hole to put Westcliff Hall in, to give you some idea of the date Westcliff Hall opened in 1914 two days before WW1 started.The video footage is of a motorcycle sprint held at Ramsgate’s Western Undercliff this has to be after 1965 as that was when the Ford Transit MK1 was introduced.

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.
