First picture Ramsgate sands looks to be about 1910. Note at this time when the tide came in there was no sand at all. I think those strange groynes and antiquated sea defences are still underneath the sand now.
Next picture is Neptune Square in Margate.
Next picture is the back of the Clock House in Ramsgate, the buildings on the back had various uses at one time I believe they were tea rooms and at other times used for maritime things to do with the Harbour.
The next one is Margate lifeboat.
The next one is the Ramsgate tidal ball when it had the structure at the bottom.
The next one has the explanation on the picture.
The next one showing the sailing ship on Morton's patent slipway as the face of the clock on the clockhouse is black this dates a picture to between 1842 and 1881.
The last one the launching of Margate lifeboat.
For further information I recommend coming here to Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate and browsing our local history section which is fairly comprehensive.
