location of beach location photos please Ramsgate?
« on: Sunday 04 August 24 21:12 BST (UK) »
I have two photos of beach scenes I can't identify the location of. Both feature my grandad, one with I think my mum or my aunt as a baby from the late 1930s or late 1940s. I thought they were in Ramsgate because of the arches in the background but I was wrong, can anyone help? And can anyone clean up the crease marks?

Looks like Brighton to me, the hotel in the background looks similar to what is now the Harbour Hotel (64 King's Road) and there are beach stalls with large arched windows that look very similar, the positioning of which fits in with that perspective of the hotel (the stalls are not visible from the road). Just the little turret roof on the hotel is different, but that could simply have been replaced.

Great link Little Nell, I looked online for a perspective like that for ages.

I would agree with agree with gaffy & Little Nell - I've add a piece of deejayEn's photos to a screen shot of Google street view 2019.
