The Eastern Gully is leaking, shops in Ramsgate, Margate pier repairs and so on

The picture above shows the Eastern Gully after the sluices have been opend too much in around 1900, you can see the damage, the power of water.
this wosisname is made of photos taken yesterday, as you it seems to be leaking quite a bit.
I think Wetherspoons got a bit unplugged for a while yesterday, Ramsgate's ancient infrastructure probably means the power cables to The Royal Victoria Pavilion date from when it was built in 1903.

some activity in this closed Ramsgate High Street shop which looks as though it is going to reopen soon.

I haven't seen Clique bar open for a while and wonder if it is difficulties and has closed.

The maritime museum says opening Friday, I think this is after a short temporary closure for heath reasons

Harbour gates and bridge have apparently been delayed again while some hydraulic rams have gone to Holland for reconditioning.
 more eastern gully photos which I am sure I have posted before
 Back then the harbour was managed in a very different way and one that wouldn't fit in with today's demands

 In Margate it was the pier that needed a lot of repairs
I you are wondering about the safety elf

 This is up St John's in Margate



I wonder what happened to this tree in in King Street Ramsgate, vandalism, council, disease?

Strange green and yellow earth worms here in Ramsgate

This is the link to the rest of today's photos

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.
