Ramsgate in 1966 photos and stuff

 Can anyone identify the tall ship in the foreground, this is about the time we moved to Ramsgate

 The advantage of having photos from a guide like this is that you can be reasonably certain that they were taken the previous year, in this case 1965.

 I think this would be inside The Royal Victoria Pavilion

 The block of beach chalets was demolished to make way for the Port of Ramsgate access road.

 This is the guesthouse we bought around 1966

to help with price comparisons the average weekly wage in 1966 was £20.6s.1d last year 2017 it was £550.

Apart from working as a shop assistant at Michael's Bookshop here in Ramsgate, which today was mostly answering questions questions like. 'Who lived in my house in Ramsgate in 1966?' Which is easily answered along the lines of. 'The best I can do is who lived in your house in 1963." Followed by showing the customer where the 1963 directories are and how the directory works.
