A few old Ramsgate and Margate pictures

These should expand if you click on them. We are pricing a fairly large collection of railway books including some about the railways in this area at the moment. So worth keeping an eye on the photos of the books going out if you collect local books, here is the link to the pictures of the ones that wen out today https://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/engineering-in-bookshop.html

Oh Yes It Is, exhibition at The Beaney in Canterbury. Some old photos of Canterbury, Ramsgate and Margate. A bit of sketching in Canterbury – ramble type of thing.

The pictures should expand when you click on them, copying with the photo balanced on the computer using the mobile phone isn't the best method I know and if anyone finds any of the pictures are a bit blury let me know and I will have another go. 

 Some have the dates on the back like this one 1952

 1962

 1956

 1962

nothing on the back of the Ramsgate one, however Ramsgate Festival of Light opened in 1949 I bought the pictures above in Herne Bay yesterday

This says service in Holy Trinity Church [Margate]

The, "Oh Yes It Is" exhibition at The Beaney in Canterbury is well worth a visit and it's free.

I bought some books for the bookshop and this is the link to the ones that went on the shelves yesterday 

Including these two with their contemporary covers

did a bit of sketching in Chocolate Cafe

This one is a bit, spot the difference.

La Trappiste aka The Canterbury Belgian Cafe that closed, which was Deakin and Co is now going to be Deakin's - pub and kitchen
