Q 1 This photo was taken from a building in Margate about 120 years ago, do you know which building?
Q 2 Where in Thanet? This should be easy as we recently had a similar one.
Q 3 Do you know which part of Ramsgate town centre this photo shows?
A fairly busy day at work here at Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate. Not something I understand with the roads closed, no busses, all of the shop closures in Ramsgate and the cold weather. Lots of families buying their books, it could easily have been 30 years ago, perhaps we have slipped through a timewarp or something. As it was I didn't get a chance to leave the building and am quite looking forward to a day off tomorrow.
link to the photos of the books we put out

Royal School for the Deaf Margate although when this was taken it was probably called, Royal Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb Poor

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.
