EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Chris Redgrave showcases the picturesque Ramsgate Harbour in all its Victorian glory. The image transports us back to a time when bustling harbours were the lifeline of coastal towns like Ramsgate, with boats and ships serving as vital modes of transport. From this vantage point, we are treated to a general view of the harbour from the south. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the East Pier, where a boat is undergoing repairs on a slipway. This glimpse into maritime activity reminds us of the industrious nature of this seaside town. At the heart of this scene stands the magnificent Custom House, an architectural gem dating back to 1894-5. Its grandeur and attention to detail speak volumes about Ramsgate's importance as a trading hub during that era. The photo captures not only historical elements but also highlights how seamlessly these structures blend with their natural surroundings. The seafront provides an idyllic backdrop for this vibrant harbor scene, inviting visitors and locals alike to enjoy leisurely strolls along its promenade. Chris Redgrave's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the intricate details and overall charm of Ramsgate Harbour. It serves as a visual reminder that even in our fast-paced world, there is still beauty in preserving our heritage and celebrating our connection with transportation history.
