Description

Ramsgate: the town and its seaside heritage tells the story of this east Kent coast resort's transformation from quiet fishing village to thriving seaside destination. Over 250 years, Ramsgate has been shaped by its strategic position, with improvements in passenger boats and the arrival of the railway opening it up to thousands of holidaymakers.

The town's rich maritime heritage is reflected in its fascinating architectural landscape, featuring up-to-date terraces, crescents, and squares. This book combines documentary research with insights into Ramsgate's architectural heritage, illustrated with new and archival photographs. It also explores the challenges and opportunities facing the town today as it seeks to redefine itself.
