I guess most people will remember last year when we has the
Ramsgate Society shop with the stained glass Edwardian shop front in Harbour
Street, now of course all ripped out and I am sure in the fullness of time we
will get a nice new plastic one.
Anyway you may be wondering what's happened to The Ramsgate
Society, well the answer is they have been tinned.
Take a town like Ramsgate, find a position with one of the
finest views in the world - overlooking The Royal Harbour - find a shipping
container and in no time at all you have a room without a view.
My take is that the town council, tourist information
office, the TDC office in Ramsgate and The Ramsgate Society should club
together and buy one largish shop in the town that they can all operate
from.
Anyway if you want to visit The Ramsgate Society it's in the
container by the Maritime Museum or Clock House at the harbour.
Historically in Ramsgate the locals have been tinned or
boxed and then left well alone, see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop710/id5.htm
some years ago a couple of these were robbed an once the lead lining had been
broken the bodies inside started to go off and had to be removed because of the
smell.

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.
