Click to expand, old local guide, can you tell how old it is? How well do you know 20th century Thanet?

 

This is the Thanet part of an old East Kent guide, most old local tourist guides are undated so one thing I have to do when I publish a reprint is to work out the date, but can you?


All of the pictures should expand to a reasonable size with a bit of clicking, tapping, finger spreading - depending on your device.

  1. Judging by the ladies' fashions in the Lido shot, I would estimate 1930 something or other

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.
