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.
Eventful day in Ramsgate today, the East end of Winterstoke Gardens and the East end of the promenade were cordoned off by police for at least two hours today.
ReplyDeleteI missed all that Ken, what do you think of the portal part of the façade structure?
ReplyDeleteIts looking rather sad after such a short time
ReplyDeleteTDC used to regularly insert grout into the piers and point the harbour walls, about 10 years ago they decided that it was too expensive and stopped it, no doubt sometime in the future it will cost a great deal to rectify.
ReplyDeleteNice piccies Michael, I want one of those giant ice creams when I am next in Ramsgate.
ReplyDelete19.58 I think the last time that a combination of the deterioration of the east pier and an easterly storm lead to a considerable amount of the harbour wall being damaged by the sea was 1978. So I don’t think this so much to with grouting but the problem that the harbour wall is filled with chalk and has had some concrete pumped into it which filled in the gaps between the chalk and now more chalk has gone presumably leaving areas full of lose concrete.
ReplyDeleteDon glad you enjoyed them, it is my intention to back to taking and publishing a lot more photos, I have been a bit lazy in that front recently.
Readit...I believe there was a 'jumper' there this morning.
