The Ramsgate ones show the tower of the Granville lowered so
after 1899 but the pavilion not year built so before 1903, I wonder if anyone
who knows what was built when in Margate can narrow it down a bit more.
My bookshop is very busy at the moment you can see the books
that went out today here http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/broadstairs-1949-in-bookshop.html
My new Broadstairs publication the Broadstairs guide for
1949 – buy in now here http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/broadstairs-1949-in-bookshop.html
or come into the bookshop, but not on Thursdays, has a peculiar social history
facet.
This is because I also publish the same but different guide
for 1937, see http://michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/sunny_broadstairs.htm
so wee have the same but different guides with The Second World War.
So not a major historical document, but the subtle
differences between the two guides somehow managed to express effects of the
war that I couldn’t put into words, lots of small social changes, worth look if
you get the chance.
The way things are going I will have to take on an A level
student for an hour or so after school, so if you are going to start A levels
next term and are interested in bookselling and publishing you can always drop
me an email michaelchild@aol.com
Pictures will expand if clicked on, but the main point of them is that we know the date they were taken.

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.
