Ramsgate sands PEN01_15_03_29424
Royal Victoria Pavilion, Harbour Parade, Ramsgate, Thanet, Kent. A general view showing Ramsgate sands, with a partial view of the Royal Victoria Pavilion in the foreground and the Ramsgate Harbour Station in the mid-ground, photographed between 1926 and 1939.
The pavilion was built in 1903 by Stanley Davenport Adshead and originally contained a theatre and cafe. It was later converted to a casino and to a public house in 2018. To the north of the pavilion was the Ramsgate Harbour Station, a second railway station built in 1863 and closed in 1926. It was used as a site of seaside entertainment, along with the Pleasurama and Ramsgate Tunnels, and was destroyed by a fire in 1998

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured between 1926 and 1939 by Historic England Archive, transports us back in time to the idyllic Ramsgate sands in Kent. The image showcases a general view of the picturesque beach, with the magnificent Royal Victoria Pavilion stealing the foreground. Designed by Stanley Davenport Adshead and erected in 1903, this architectural gem originally housed a theater and cafe before undergoing transformations into a casino and public house later on. Adjacent to the pavilion stands Ramsgate Harbour Station, an additional railway station constructed in 1863 but sadly closed just over six decades later. This charming seaside spot served as a hub for entertainment seekers who flocked to enjoy its offerings alongside nearby attractions like Pleasurama and Ramsgate Tunnels. Tragically, disaster struck when fire ravaged through the beloved harbor station in 1998, leaving behind only memories of its former glory. The photograph not only captures these historical landmarks but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era defined by leisurely holidays spent at coastal destinations like Ramsgate. It serves as a poignant reminder of both loss and resilience – showcasing how even after destruction, communities come together to rebuild their cherished spaces. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an enchanting world where Edwardian elegance meets Victorian grandeur against the backdrop of sandy shores – forever preserving moments that shaped our collective memory of seaside amusements from days gone by.
