A few adverts from the 1867 Ramsgate Guide

Out and about photos

Art under £100 is still on at Nice Things Harbour Street Ramsgate but some things have gone and some other things have come so I photographed it again

Adrian Lloyd at York Street Gallery in Ramsgate,

Ramsgate Town Centre is still having a bumpy ride, it looks like one of the greengrocers is pulling out.

but on the other hand 

 The whole old Lewis and Hyland block is being regenerated

Yesterday's answers

 1 Hippodrome Theatre 1964 Cecil Sq Margate

I had it's ups and downs and was eventually demolished to make way for Margate library It first opened in 1898 at a time when buildings were designed to have a large staff on very low wages living in conditions of what we would consider poverty in some ways.  

 2 Pegwell

3 interesting to look at this one on Google maps and drag the spot under the little man to the junction so you can see the building now.

Bit of a ramble now

Looks pretty important doesn't it, logo of the scales of justice, supreme court ruling visible on the unopened letter, funny though

This is the logo of the UK Supreme Court, reading through the blurb which looks like I need to take urgent action to protect my business. This is just spam trying to get me to buy admission to a seminar.

Apart from  saying to readers here. "Be as careful and suspicious with post and phone calls as you would with email." We are now boycotting all the businesses that spam us with misleading information.

Ramsgate weathervanes to identify, some thoughts on Harbour Street and anything else I can think of

1 Do you recognise this Ramsgate weathervane

If you stand by this lamppost in Ramsgate you can see several weathervanes, and if you have a camera with a long wosisname you can zoom in on them, which I did. So can you identify the the other weathervanes photographed today from the same place.

Nice Things in Harbour Street has a Mencap exhibition

Worth a look if you are in that part of the town.

 No change with the closed Daily Grind yet, I guess a lot of the problem there was the very difficult shop front.

on to yesterday's answers

 The one that proved very difficult was All Saints Birchington, Dante Gabriel Rossetti who had a bungalow at Westgate is buried there

 The other one was St Laurence Church Ramsgate
