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.
Looks like it was busy shame the pools closed Margate's one must have been just as busy.
ReplyDeleteNice collection. Haven't seen the 8th one down before with the two little tunnels going between the boating pool and main pool. Very quaint. Any idea on date for that one and when the pool was then altered removing the tunnels ?
ReplyDeleteOh and the conservatory on top of the Marina Theatre / Neros, that didn't appear to last very long ?
What a novel idea, having something that people want.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. And what they communicate to me is civic pride. Something we could do with now.
ReplyDeleteThe residents of Ramsgate are slowly being robbed of our leisure areas.
ReplyDeleteStargazer.

ReplyDeleteI remember the Lido in Margate, but for the life of me, cannot remember the Ramsgate pool.
I see by your reports that the destructive attitude of the Councils from then, run parallel to that which we have today!
