Some mystery photos, and a map of Thanet

 Question 1 Do you recognise where in Thanet this is? Well I suppose was is more appropriate than is. 
 Question 2 George V Coronation Party so June 1911, but which Thanet street?
 Question 3 WW2 Victory party so 1945, but which Thanet street?
 Question 4 WW2 bomb damage, but where in Thanet?

 an early Margate steamboat print from the Mick Twyman collection, from the construction style of the two steamers I would think not long after 1815 when paddle steamers first arrived in Margate.
 Another one from the Mick Twyman collection which just says Armistice Celebrations 1918 so probably in the Margate area
on to the 1910ish Thanet map which may expand to a greater or lesser degree if you click on it.

Here at Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate a very normal winter's day, bright cold January day reasonably happy customers, buying books from us and selling them to us.

link to the photos of the books we put out

New takeaway in York Street -  Souvlaki or σουβλάκι is a Greek fast food, it was very busy when I went by, mid afternoon.

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.
