Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs old phots

 Starting with Broadstairs 

These two are from the 1937 official Broadstairs guide (we do a cheap reprint of this so link to buy the guide)

Broadstairs is difficult to date so the old guides help a lot.

Expanding this picture it looks to be early 1920s there is what looks like a small circus tent next to the end of the disused station

I think this one is probably 1910s

1940s?

1930s I think




We got a snack and cuppa at Café G £10.50  in Margate yesterday as we went to the old Bank bookshop.

Here Michael's bookshop in Ramsgate today which is where I work the usual eclectic batch of books coming and going this is the link to the ones we put out for sale today.

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.
