first the local pictures
This view of Fort Crescent was the only one that said anything on the back and altough prtetty much illegible is postmarked 1905 pic of back at end of picts
note the barge top left the peculiar look of the sails is due to the sprit supporting the topsail, the best I can do for a date with this one is pre WW1
Bathing machines so probably pre WW1 Perkins so probably Margate
I think this Ramsgate one is 1970s
Two new old Margate directories for 1905
http://michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/margate_private_resident_directory_1905.htm
and
if you are lucky enough to have a house in Margate that was
there in 1905 then you can now work out who lived in it then. Going for walk
with these old directories can take a very long time.
And yes we do have some sort of sale in the bookshop
with book prices starting at 5p, although this is the norm rather than the exception.

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.
