Back in 2007 I managed to get the Broadstairs Holiday Guide
for 1937 and of course I produced an inexpensive reprint of it so that everyone
who wants to can enjoy it, here is the link, should you want to buy it http://michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/sunny_broadstairs.htm
On my bookbuying and sketching travels today I saw what I
thought, inasmuch as the outside is identical, was another original copy of the
same guide and bought it.
However it transpires that the one I bought today is the
1949 version of the guide and completely different on the inside.
Here are some pictures of the pages of the 1937 guide
and next some from
the 1949 guide.
On to Wingham and the church of St Mary the Virgin E parts
last ¼ C13, W tower C14 plain pointed transept on imposts so around 1200,
lightly restored by Ferrey 1874-5 well U2 can read about it and or form your
own conclusions.
My visit today was to look at the Oxinden Monument, perhaps
sketch it if possible – and it wasn’t as I couldn’t get far enough away from it
with the light behind, but certainly get some photos of this black and white marble,
free standing monument in the S transept. So just stock photos from my mobile
phone, but more I surmise than you will find elsewhere. They will expand if you click on them - frantically? Perhaps.
A few pictures of the inside of the church
On to Herne Bay and lunch at The Bandstand Pavilion with
some attempts to sketch it the hexagonal clerestory lights being the main
impediment to the amateur watercolourist, so easy to photograph – oh well a bit
more practice and I may pull it orf.
On to Margate and a bit more to my watercolour sketch
from Turner Contemporary Café.

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.
