Ramsgate Guide for 1966 and some local pictures I try vlogging

 A couple of steam tugs with Ramsgate Westcliff in the background, the postmark date as you can see is 1922 which only really tells us that the photo was taken before 1922. Of course the usual thing to do is to say "Ramsgate Harbour 1922" and in this case I think that would be about right.

Next the 1966 Ramsgate Guide, I am aiming to vlog this one although at the moment it's saying 'Uploading 0%' and has been for some time. It may be that I'm not really ready to be a vlogger.

Taking the card from one device and popping it into another seems to be the answer to this particular ITC problem.

I couldn't read the name of the vicar, pastor, too fuzzy on the original, think this was demolished in the 70s, bring back the day! We certainly knocked a lot down back then.

 This one only says Vulcan which is the name of the tug and Bradford the name of the lifeboat on the back. My guess is that it is based on a photo of an oil painting, rather than being a photo of the event.

My take on chapels in Ramsgate is that it would have had more than most places because it didn't get a church of england church until around 1830. Back in the good old days if you didn't attend some sort of religious service every week, it would have been very had to get a job, rent a house etc.

As christians would have had to walk all the way to St Lawrence to attend church many opted for nonconformity and old maps of Ramsgate are dotted with notes like 'Primitive Bap. Ch.' evoking flashes of Oranges are not the Only Fruit in one's diversity super ego.

So next a Margate chapel

Work wise today I have been sorting out books on steam engines, a lot of the books that went out on the shelves today were about floatplanes or seaplanes, a bit of a specialist subject I know, but there were some Goosebumps and Stephen Kings for partners and children.

This is the link to the photos of the books
