Only 17 years ago. I've tried mostly to put in pictures where things have changed. This is part of my obsession with local shops and obviously stems from opening Michael's Bookshop here in Ramsgate in 1987 and watching virtually every other independent shop and Ramsgate close in that period of almost 50 years. I'm sorry it wasn't until about 2009 that I realised what was going on and started taking pictures of Ramsgate's shops.

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.
