Another normal March day here at Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate where I work, I keep expecting some sort of business slowdown but sales were considerably better than the second Monday in March 2019
I have been plugging away at the new bookcases in our art book section, nearly finished now.
Header boards and labelling mostly today.
link to the photos of the books we put out today
Just realised I have been slacking on the Broadstairs front
So a page from the 1948 Broadstairs Guide which we usually have in stock.
The answers to yesterday's questions
Bounty was moored in Ramsgate Harbour for five years this is her leaving leaving in March 1951
Granville tower is tall so between about 1870 and 1899
Clock house clock dial black so from around 1842 to 1881
Vulcan, an iron steam paddle tug of 140 tons (142 t), also built at Blackwall and delivered to Ramsgate in 1858
Best I can do is between 1870 and 1881
Coastguard station at Pegwell the dip to the right is where the lower decking to the hotel and pubs are now.

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.
