Margate Ramsgate historic photos, Herne Bay and Margate Turner Contemporary etc 28.3.2019

Busy day today, as I had to go to several different places to look at books.
A few Margate hotels


An interesting photo effect from 1954, there would be several ways of doing this in the darkroom I think

I guess B Company 1st Cadet Battalion Buffs 1911 Officers and NCOs  1901 is worth clicking on to expand. A view into local history



This is the abandoned Page and Son warehouse, before it became the abandoned Age and Son restaurant
no caption for this one which looks like Ramsgate Sea cadets









Not a successful day for me, bookshops closed when thy should have been open, not many books worth buying all round. 


Interesting exhibition of work by prisoners at Turner Contemporary


 KCC Direct Pizza?
 This may seem a bit sexist
 But what about the "Lying Bar"
This seems to support the possibility that there may be deliberate humour in contemporary art.

Link to photos of the books we put out yesterday

Link the photos for today's post

Ramsgate and Margate pictures

A bit of painting at the Royal Victoria Pavilion aka Wetherspoons, a bit of work at Michael's Bookshop this is the link to the new arrivals 






 This is the shape of the mill building in Ramsgate as it was designed by Edward Pugin, the photo below shows how it was modified.

























The rest of the photos were taken today

























 With the painting it is a spot the difference so below a detail of the bit where I was at it today
