I don't recall having seen a picture of the clockhouse with a black face and white hands before, note the ship in the dry dock I am guessing this one is fairly early perhaps 1870s
Interesting shot showing the fairground in the Pleasurama Olympia period
Back to the days of railway company competition and Ramsgate's two stations
one on Margate Road near the top of Chatham Street
and the other on the Pleasurama site
On to today's photographic failures, including an exhibition in Nice Things in Harbour Street Ramsgate by Molly Pickle where there was too much glass so too much reflection, interesting stuff and well worth a visit.
This is the link to today's photos
Next reviewing my thoughts about the level of the inner basin in yesterday's post
there is a small amount leakage around the mitre gates, but not anything that I can see that would account for the drop of the level on the inner basin. Assuming that the level stops falling when the flap gate is closed then I think there may be a leak in the small area between the two sets of gates.

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.
