Chatham House Ramsgate School Entertainment Pictures, a few Canterbury photos from today and a minor ramble

 I think most of the pictures will expand fairly well if you click on them, I think they mostly date from the 1970s, but I am not really sure. These are all Chatham House school stage productions





























































Apart from the internet it it is very difficult to know what to do with a batch of pictures like these ones. I don't really see them as local history book material, especially as I have no text with them for captions. On the other hand I don't want them to be lost forever and I would guess that it is only paper books that ensure this, with the internet at the moment so many historic pictures seem to get lost because of where they are hosted trying to commercialise them.

Any ideas on this one?

We were book buying in Canterbury today, mostly Oxfam bookshop and Hospice bookshop. I did take a few pictures here is the link please appreciate that the pages of pictures from my compact camera are as much a personal visual diary than anything else
 what the Big Brother camera is all about I don't know, it seems to point along the river.

If you are interested in The First World War then we bought a medium sized collection (about 100 titles) of WW1 books and most of them got priced and put out in the bookshop yesterday this is the link to the photos of them 

The popularity of military books goes up and down over the years and at the moment there is reasonable interest in WW1 probably as much as WW2 but the WW1 books are more difficult to source.

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.
