More about this scene

Ramsgate is the third in the trinity of Thanet holiday resorts; its attractions would have been familiar to the young Princess Victoria, who as a small girl stayed in a house near the bandstand on the left of the picture, and played freely on the sands below. As Queen Empress, she died in the year this picture was taken. The Saint Cloud Hotel and the Granville Hotel, whose impressive colonnaded and balconied frontages face the sea, catered for the middle classes and their families.

My great grandfather, Charles Chedgey, was given a gold watch by the employees of the Granville Hotel in May 1900. I`d be interested to know the circumstances whereby hotel employees could afford to present him with an engraved expensive gold watch. Chris Chedgey
