Click to enlarge the pictures of Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs

 

Starting with some Ramsgate pictures from the Tom Stokes collection which I am working on for inclusion in a local history books at the moment 
Obviously the date on this one is wrong as the Sands Station was built here in 1860 so it has to be before then and not 1895 







Nigel Stephens
Monk scibbens and Tom Hurst on the Ramsgate coat of arms in lifeboat gear probably during the carnival

Dave Aves not Hayes 

Nice old LL postcard of Broadstairs

On to the Mick Twyman collection which is mostly Margate

Pearks Stores


White Hart Hotel



Tudor House


Lifeboat presumably one of the Margate ones

I am hoping that a lot of the photos in theses collections will appear in the Thanet local history books that I publish although it's proving to take much longer than I expected.

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.
