Ramsgate, Margate and Broadsairs old photos and I ramble on


 A steam trawler in Ramsgate Harbour, probably around 1920
 I would ignore the caption on this one, I am going for about 1880 and looking from the west
 This one is after 1894 as you can see the Custom House (built 1893/4) in the background
 A couple of 2012 shots of building the newish Margate sea defence

 Broadstairs in 1796
 View from the Eagle Cafe in 1939, click enthusiastically to expand the picture and note the watchperson up the pole on the end of the pier.


 Margate lighthouse after the 1953 storm
 and before for anyone who can't see what's missing


 This is the old Margate Jetty
 I think this is Margate Herbert Reeves bakery

 This is the building of the unusually large roundabout in Ramsgate, I wonder why it's so big?
 This one is after 1966 because of the Ford Transit


Back to work in the bookshop tomorrow, the latest stock looks suitable for guitarists, cartographers and teenage vampires

Link to pictures of the books

Next links to pages of pictures of Northdown Road in 2009

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.
