 Buckingham Rd. 1917





It has been one of those mornings for me, where you fight with internet ordering and robot controlled telephone lines.  

Once again historic photos from the Tom Stokes and Mick Twyman collections 

At work here at Michaels Bookshop in Ramsgate it is the first day of the school holidays so a lot of younger readers.  
 

We went book buying in Margate yesterday, mostly The Old Bank Bookshop although we did walk up the High Street which I think is getting a bit better at the top and a bit worse at the bottom. Surprisingly there are now very few charity shops left in Margate town.

here is the link to the pictures of the books we put out today

Post a Comment

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.
