Photos of The Beaney Canterbury, newly reopened, and a bit of a ramble.


For those of you unfamiliar with Canterbury, this isn’t another new eatery specialising in food that may cause flatulence, but the reopening of Canterbury’s art gallery, library and museum after a £14m makeover.

Now renamed The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge, what I had always thought of as Canterbury Library has a new lease of life.

Their website is http://www.canterbury.co.uk/Beaney/ you will note the gallery is open on Sundays, so it is another fairly local place to go that is open at the weekends, there is a fair amount for children to do too.

I went to Canterbury mainly to buy a few books and to visit the artist’s materials shop, as this was done while my children were at school I didn’t have enough time to photograph the gallery, which I didn’t realise had reopened.

Such photos as I did take are published directly from my camera card here http://michaelsbookshop.com/laptop912/id2.htm and here http://michaelsbookshop.com/laptop912/id3.htm

    £14 million for the Beany but they will not rebuild Herne Bay pier! The distribution of funding seems to fall in one basket.

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.
