EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Queen Street, Ramsgate, between 1945 and 1965. The image showcases a charming street view from the east, near the junction with York Street, looking west towards 51 Queen Street. Standing tall in the background is the magnificent building that once housed a wine merchant's business. Known for its Victorian-Tudor style architecture, this remarkable structure was constructed around 1898 under the guidance of W. J. Jennings from Canterbury. Its front facade boasts an impressive central entrance adorned by sturdy granite columns on either side. However, what truly catches one's attention is the short circular tower gracefully perched on the south-east corner of this historic edifice. A distinctive feature that helps identify this architectural gem within the photograph is a round clock face elegantly supported by a large bracket. This unique detail adds character and charm to an already enchanting scene. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only architectural beauty but also whispers stories of days gone by. It serves as a reminder of Ramsgate's rich history and its vibrant past as a hub for merchants and traders. Through John Pennycuick's lens, we are transported to an era where cobbled streets were filled with life and every building had its own tale to tell - including this remarkable former wine merchant's premises at 51 Queen Street.
