T S Eliot’s Shelter in 1912? some inevitable Manston content because of this week’s deadline, old postcards

Well is it or isn’t, I just don’t know Margate well enough, did the same shelter last all that time? Or am a looking at the wrong one in the wrong place?

Of course the 1912 postmark on the back only means before 1912, and so before Eliot wrote the poem. But perhaps the closest picture date wise.

 I spent a sizable chunk of today getting the Manston RSP DCO documents into a state that I could just about use to respond to the consultation as responses have to be in by Friday.

Were the airfreight hub to happen in anything like the way the documents suggest then it would be far and away the biggest change to Thanet for decades, so it has to be done, although I would rather be doing other things.

 I think folley rather than fort, is that right?

 This is an oft reproduced and common card but I dont think I have ever seen the back of one with a postmark on it before

What we used to call half term at the moment, so lots of Children's books going out, in the window on the bookshop blog. Perhaps in these days of political correctness I should say many of today's customers were vertically disadvantaged, this is the link

Funny old world but I do encounter a fair amount of strife for promoting the bookshop, as though bookshops were not such a good thing, perhaps.
