note the changes from this one from around 1790, I would think mostly related to building grand rental houses for gentlemen training as officers for the Napoleonic wars.
A viable proposition for a day out from Thanet with the car, we stopped off in Folkestone after everyone had had enough.
On to non food retail here in Ramsgate, here is the link to the pictures of the books that went out yesterday
Interesting comment on my post linked to facebook group The Friends Of Ramsgate Seafront, about Pleasurama by, John Davis "I can shed some light on the situation, having spoken to Jeremy Godden when he was down there a couple of days ago and confirmed that he is responsible for this temporary arrangement, apparently renting the land from the people who now own it. The funfair rides (more are due to arrive) are planned to be on there for about eight weeks, opening at the end of July, following full safety checks on both the ground and rides by the HSE. Once the rides are all in place there will be a top dressing of pebbles/gravel applied. The hoardings to the beach side of the funfair are to be taken down, with Heras fencing put up each night for security. The ride operators are the same guys who have set up along the road there for the August Bank Holiday over the last couple of years. There is, of course, a bittersweet irony, given the history of the last twenty years on the site, but at least this is a step, albeit small, towards something happening down there. This in no way justifies or exonerates those responsible for the unlawful disposal of our public land, but at least this will be a temporary improvement and the rides have been extremely popular when here previously. The journey of a thousand miles always starts with a single step"

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.
