 hopefully some you haven's seen before.
 Moses's shipyard and the Paragon baths in this one


 Note the tramlines












Work in the bookshop here are the pictures of the books that went out today.

I have been trying on and off to get to grips with aspects of the changes to the local and I think part of this is the relocation of where the houses will be built.


The table above is from the council's website, this is the link to it   the housing tables being in appendix B. Personally with the whole business of the DCO application giving such a developer free for all regardless of whether the application is ever granted, I am getting a bit of a waft of rat.

I wonder just how much the freedom to build say a couple of thousand home at Westgate or  1600 at Birchington would be worth to developers.

  1. Not having a go ~ this is without a doubt the best drop I have seen from ye olde shoppe, but if you want to get rid of that pink glare just use photo shop [or paint shop pro] to select less colours... black and white in 256 million colours is much better than colour..... Your not into selfies are you...? bless, from Stanley Co Durham, where the coal comes from.

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.
