A Peer at the End of the Pier in Ramsgate

Not that pier silly it was demolished 1930 having been damaged by a mine in 1919 although I do publish a book about it, see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/id122.htm

This one, these ones strictly called harbour arms, the picture taken this morning – sorry it’s a bit murky, it was like that this morning – as you can see the dredging needs doing.

There were also quite a few people in high vis jackets peering at the pier this morning, I had to go and open the bookshop so didn’t have time to investigate and didn’t have a zoom lens with me hence the pixels.

The council have put the lease for the Eagle Café, on the end of the pier up for tender, presumably they managed to get the leasehold back, lets hope it reopens this year.


As café culture the views from the site are stunning though sometimes it can be difficult to get to due to the weather, however as you can see from the video the very determined get there in the end.
