This later became Merrie England and the Pleasurama and is now just a horrible mess behind the main sands in Ramsgate. Before Olympia it was The Ramsgate Sands Station
as you can see in this picture
An early one of The Royal Victoria Pavilion
and another of the station
I think this one is just after 1860 when the station was built, bottom left is the turntable to turn the railway locomotives and centre is Moses's Shipyard before it relocated to where Port Ramsgate is now around 1870

These two photos that I have put up on the internet a few times in the last 10 years often get copied and published as very small image files, particularly on facebook and often with the wrong dates.
The photos should expand if you click on them a bit. They show what will eventually become the railway station in 1860 and later Pleasurama, so they were both taken before 1860.
A busy day at work today

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.
