Ramsgate Sands Station 1920s or 30s |
The S R Port on the side of the horse drawn wagon was a builders merchant and builder in Ramsgate High Street.
But I did do a quick sketch from Turner Contemporary Cafe, sitting in the sunshine, which if anything was too hot.
The photo just fell out of a secondhand book I was pricing here, where I work at Michaels Bookshop here in Ramsgate. Apart from being closed on Sundays the bookshop is closed on weekdays beginning with T, so yesterday afternoon we headed off to Margate for the sunset.
This is an unedited photo of Margate Sands taken with my mobile phone and I think sums up my reason for going there.I didn't go to the exhibition at Turner Contemporary as I have seen it before.
We did of course buy quite a lot of books in Margate mostly from The Old Bank Bookshop these should appear in our new acquisitions
