Just to correct an error: Augustus Pugin didn't design the Granville Hotel as I mistakenly say around 25:22, it was his son, Edward, as I correctly say later on in this video…
No, sorry, Victor "That name rings a bell" Silvester. I intend to do a video just about the Ramsgate seafront during the "glory days" in the fairly near future, and I'll make sure I research the Coronation Ballroom. Thanks for the tip.
@@JimDriver My pleasure, you're showing you age if you remember Victor Silvester, lol. There is strangely little online about the Coronation Ballroom - but it attracted all the top bands of the time. And later on the more contemporary 60s pop bands. I'll look forward to what you find.
Learnt a lot. More on the Pulhamite would be interesting because it is very special to Ramsgate and indicates the wealth of the town. I came up to Ramsgate from Deal for twenty years before discovering that it had a High Street, not just a harbour and beach. A town that tucks its High Street away out of view to visitors is bound to suffer financially. Unfortunately, like Dover, Ramsgate clearly suffered from some awful 1950's rebuilding of poor design and low quality.
Thanks for commenting: I appreciate it. I agree with you about the terrible rebuilding in the 1950s: the whole area around Leopold Street (the car park, Wilko’s, the Travelodge, etc) is an eyesore…

Hello, a great watch. Do you have any details about the vast Coronation Ballroom which covered the entire upper floor of Pleasurama...?

Hey Jim... You will have to do your next walking video early morning to avoid all the traffic noise etc... Look forward to the next episode.
Great idea, Mark. I intend to make quite a lot of improvements as I go along. I hope you stick with me through my (steep) learning curve. Cheers!
I love Ramsgate its a real shame to see it so run down hopefully it will rise again and be as good if not better than it was.
Ramsgate is a great place: let's see what happens…
Hilarious
Better than telly which is way way too bossy these days!!! Clever and amusing.
Thanks, assuming you like it for the right reasons 😀: I try and keep them light and not boringly serious…
@@JimDriver I found it interesting
