Old Ramsgate and Margate pictures today, some common and some scarce. Video Stephen King's Stand

Prince Fred and William fishing boat crew. As far as I understand they gave trips to tourists around 1900. 

Next this group is Margate Saint John's Ambulance crew. 

Next Eastcliff promenade Ramsgate.

Next a vessel being displayed in Margate apparently

“The Flora” I will try and work out what it is but I'm sure people will tell me if I can’t. AI says “Flora was a traditional Kentish lugger—a sturdy type of multi-masted boat frequently deployed by local mariners for fishing, piloting, and hazardous "hovelling" (mercantile salvage and rescue work) along the treacherous sands of the North Sea coast.”

Then three of the marina swimming pool and Ramsgate 

Then the crew that was rescued by the Margate surf boat in 1897 

Then the funeral cortege for the 1897 surf boat funeral. 

Then Eastcliff bandstand Ramsgate I think this is probably 1940s 

Then the East cliff in Ramsgate, note the pier and the strange cliff top area that the very incautious seem to be happy sitting on. Perhaps they were generation C or something.

Here at Michael's bookshop in Ramsgate we do have the booklet  about the Margate surf boat disaster. “Friend to all Nations” The Story of the Surfboat Disaster of 1897. It's one of those scarce pamphlets that has become expensive at £20. Sorry about that but I couldn't find it cheaper online anywhere else.
