News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
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.
Thank you Michael. I have completed the survey, such as it is.
ReplyDeleteI turn to you as one who will surely know. What is being built on the land immediately opposite Westwood Cross on the Manston side? I can see indications of an improved road leading from Manston; but will there be also be houses, etc?
John I think you mean the new Sainsbury Hypermarket but you would need look on Google maps and give me the names of the roads there or send me a screen shot of the exact location, for me to be able to say for certain.
