These first two pictures have been produced from the same photo, while the camera didn't exactly lie you can see the business of enhancing photos dates from well before the age of computers.

The red brick arches which almost are the symbol of Ramsgate were built in the 1890s

Don't think you'll find the 1st 2 pics are taken from the same image as the angles of the bollards and various buildings are different in both images.

ReplyDeleteWhen you say 1st 2, are you meaning the one at the start of the article, which I took you to mean the original post card, or the 1st 2 images after the main text?
ReplyDeleteI have numbered the pictures for clarity
