We ate a snack lunch at the Grove Ferry Inn, tomato soup for 2 and a pot of tea for 2 £12.50, homemade soup which was very good and a reasonable pot of tea.

Grove Ferry Revisited
I published a photo of Grove Ferry in 1951 the other day and as a result of the post I got another two photos, so I went there today to try and mach them up for a then and now
There really isn't much left to match up to
This is the 1939 OS map so I was in the right place inasmuch as the ferry is where the bridge is now and the ferry and station buildings were then
Chatted to a pig there and so on, here is the link to the pictures on the camera card I will go through and delete some if I get time, I visited there in April 2010 and took some pictures here are the links to them link1 link2 link3

The inn was full of diners having variation on Sunday lunch which they all appeared to be enjoying, I have pretty much given up on TripAdvisor reviews which seem to be loaded but here is the link I find the Google reviews much more realistic
I sketched a bit
Played with my phone

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.
