For the dedicated followers here is the link to the books that went out on Saturday
One thing that never ceases to interest me is the the peculiar and disconnected comment on the internet. Back ten years ago this blog was very different, we were all learning how to say what to say. Anyway ten years ago today councillor Ken Gregory was blogging and rung me up to say he couldn't get online, sadly he is now dead but the internet being what it is his blog remains Here is the Link
I heard that Don Long had died that day, so I did a post about that too.
I also managed to get a picture of the Granville bomb damage, so a blog post about that too.
What of the comments though? Particularly the anonymous ones, why would anyone want to make them? It's a funny old world.
Anyway here are the posts for ten years ago today. The larger text post titles should work as links to them.
Granville Bomb Damage
A fairly unusual picture of the Granville just after it was hit by a bomb in the Second World War. Much less health and safety then the chaps clearing up the mess aren’t even wearing hard hats.
Ken Gregory’s computer has broken
Ken just rang me up to say his computer started emitting smoke and no longer works, he has orderd a new one but won’t be able to answer emails or respond to posts until at least next Monday.
Donald Long
It is with sadness that I have to report the death of Don Long. Don was the author of several history books about Ramsgate that I publish, his help and advice on matters of local history was invaluable.
Don was also churchwarden of Holy Trinity Church Ramsgate, long serving school governor and for a long time a Ramsgate town councillor.

Post a Comment
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.
