Pamela Beamand & Margaret Lees exhibition at The York Street gallery in Ramsgate and a ramble..

Here are the pictures of the pictures which should expand if clicked on.











Looking down at the now defunct port Ramsgate this evening I was conscious of how desperately we the council so sort out some temporary uses for some of the seafront property they own.

It is all very well seeking recrimination about old mistakes, but it doesn’t benefit us in any way, perhaps a large fun fair on the port site, getting part of the Pleasurama site cleared if it was only used for parking, getting the sun deck of the pavillion open, would be good starts.

    Is the Port all closed now? It looks a big site when devoid of traffic.

    There must be quite a colony of artists on Thanet judging by the number of changes of exhibitors at the Gallery!

      Not exactly Pat, there are some non ferry businesses that have buildings on site, but nothing regularly using the port for berthing.

      There certainly are, I think York Street Gallery has a waiting list of about a year, with one exhibition a week, there are various other galleries, but this one gets the coverage on the blog because I go past it most days.

    If the Port is essentially closed have the Port TDC staff been sacked or had their wages cut? We can't be paying them to sit around especially if they knew TEF was in problems for 3 years?

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.
