When did Margate start going downhill?

anyone care to put a date to the photo? I think probably before 1965 or the skirt would have been shorter and the male hair longer. I know from boarding school that by 1966 my hair was being measured in relation to my ear.


The skies in Ramsgate were pretty good today


 I think Ramsgate started to go downhill from about 1865, and that this was due to the Brighton train, the the first obvious sign of the was Edward Pugin going bankrupt over the Granville House development.

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.
