Ramsgate 1895 pictures

These old pictures of Ramsgate come from a guide for about 1895 which is one of the local books destined to become another in my range of local history books , see http://michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue


As I suppose most people will know the red brick arches and Madeira Walk with its Pulhamite rocks and waterfall were all built in 1893 and you can see this picture of Albion Gardens must be just after the construction work. Note the tramlines haven’t yet been laid.

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.
