Question 1 where in Thanet? you can also add what's going on and even when or why if you like.
Question 2 I'm pretty sure this is Ramsgate but do you know what's going on?
Question 3 where in Thanet?
Question 4 where in thanet?
It's a quiet day in the bookshop today, nasty weather, forecast for nasty weather, so I have been labeling up what we vaguely call the craft section.
I think it may be a bit OTT, too much input
I tried walking along in front of it with the phone's camera set on panorama and now know while when the are shooting a movie the cameras are often on rails.
Overall I am fairly pleased with the changes to the craft section in the bookshop, I managed to fit in quite a few extra shelves. I am going to start on the art next. It's another large (5 bookcases) section.
Link to the photos of the books we put out today
Yesterday's answers were all photos of Ramsgate or Margate shops in 1903 or 1904, I assumed that because they were taken from local tourist guides, that we produce cheap reprints of, readers would find them fairly easy to identify.
I am hoping people will find these ones a bit easier than yesterday's, from my end of the wosisname it's very difficult to tell how difficult local pictures are to identify.
This didn't go too well, sorry about that.

PRESS RELEASE
28 February, 2020.
Manston Airport – A vital national asset
Manston Airport is `a vital national asset` that must be given the go-ahead for development immediately says North Thanet`s MP, Sir Roger Gale.
“In the light of the judgement on the third runway at Heathrow” says Sir Roger “It is more important than ever that we get Manston up and flying again as swiftly as possible. Post-Brexit Britain is going to need additional airfreight and passenger capacity of the kind that Manston can offer swiftly. The UK is as we speak losing business to Schiphol, Charles de Gaulle, Frankfurt and Dubai and that cannot be allowed to continue if we are to prosper as a trading nation after 31st December.
Manston has been an airport for more than a hundred years, is designated as an airport in the Local Plan and is `shovel ready` in terms of development with many millions of pounds available for investment in a state-of-the-art net zero carbon modernisation. I have asked the Secretary of State to expedite the decision on the Development Consent Order so that work can commence without further delay. We have no more time to lose”. (ENDS)

I guess as he's in his late 70s climate change and pollution aren't much of a concern to him. I guess it's mostly a problem of not being able to change his mind as the world progresses and scientists come up with new information. I wonder where he got the idea that it had been an airport before 1920 from as airport services from Manston started in the 1960s.
The airfield officially became the Manston Airport in 1916! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manston_Airport
