International women's day this weekend, World Book Day yesterday, just saying. For me it was another day building bookcases, I'm reading Christian Jacq's Ramses series at the moment so am in ancient Egypt in my mind, We haven't got it in stock in the bookshop at the moment, I had the only copies.
Pictures of the books we put out today
Yesterday's answers
Boots in Harbour street Ramsgate, there were various ways of answering this one
this is the right page in the 1930 one link to buy the 1930 Ramsgate Street Directory obviously a cheaper solution is to come into Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate and loo in the directory.
There is always the remembering I can remember it as Timothy Whites a shop that used to be in the high street until Boots bought it and swapped over, expanding the old Timothy Whites shop through into King St.
This is the Flowerdew Grave at the Cemetery in Cecilia Road it was bombed 2nd November 1940 although one of the photos is 30th May 1941 research suggests Flowerdew was the surname of the grave's occupant.
I am most probably one of the last living people that lived in Cranbourne Place. I moved there in 1957 to Lil's Grill opposite Mr Sudders fish and chip shop and later to the pet shop in the double property to the right, with an aviary between it and Angle (Angel) house, which is a fruit and vegetable shop in this picture. We left the alley in about 1963, shortly afterwards it was gone!
