Do you recognise these Thanet events answers perhaps
do you recognise this event?
the photos above and below are of the same event
When and where was this event? I will put the answers up in the next post
Ramsgate's maritime heritage has had a bit of a bumpy ride
I was particularly annoyed when the heritage pontoons closed
this is a difficult event to name, I don't think I would have got it
Answers
This is the cafe in the middle of the main sands
I think the most notable part of this photo is that you can see right through the old railway station that later became Pleasurama
The Cutter Emanuel in the foreground and The Sundowner in the background.
I think the Manston Airport freight hud decision is due by the 10th of next month here is the link to the official document announcing the date.
Apparently TDC are moving Ramsgate Market to Pier Yard
Is this about TDC not understanding Ramsgate or not wanting Ramsgate to compete with Margate, parking revenues.
The only really viable solutions are, market in Staffordshire St car park and no traffic on Harbour Parade so people can maintain social distancing when the cafe culture opens.
The alternative being an increased mortality rate and possible local lockdowns.
If you have persevered this far down the blog, do you know what this is the entrance to?
the sea across the harbour this evening, sorry not very steady, should have take a tripod

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.
