An 1872 Ordnance Survey map of Ramsgate Town is now available online. The map is from a survey by Lieutenent R. Hill R.E. and is scaled at 41.66 feet to 1 inch or 1:500. This is a very detailed map and was surveyed at a time when Ramsgate was undergoing major expansion. It's a fascinating insight into old Ramsgate and also a very useful research tool.

Oops!! Apologies for that. It was late and I am old ... but enough of the excuses. It should be OK now.
Sorry Phil
3 and 4 are also the same, I know how you feel this age bussiness takes its toll
Oh dear, it doesn't get any better. I think the nurse came in with my medication and distracted me. At this rate I'll soon be able to hide my own easter eggs!!
It should be OK now, possibly, I think, maybe.
