Well it must be 'cos otherwise nobody in their right mind would want to park there, would they?
Remember this one when things were falling off and demolition was the only answer?In common with a lot of our friends I take a customary walk round the town, usually with camera at the ready, when I remember it! The weather has to be sunny and warm which it is today which makes the experience more enjoyable has a lot to do with it. Made for the seafront to view the latest happenings. It must be safe 'cos this motorhome has been there for the best part of two weeks.
Good to see ECR is back with us today go and talk to him, welcome 'old gent'.
While I'm here can anybody help with some photo's/info, in fact anything on 'The Iron Duke' public house on the corner of Plains of Waterloo and Bellevue Road. I'm particularly interested in the lantern that used to be outside and where it is now? Anything would be appreciated....

Wasn't the Eastcliff Residents Association set up initially to lobby for the preservation of the lantern? They might be able to, er, shed some light on it for you.
Thanks ECR I'll mail ERA straight away and see what happens.
ECR is right about ERA & the lantern BUT they don't know where it is, TDC's/English Heritage advisor has a pane from the lantern on his desk, various rumours have circulated that the lantern is in Cliftonville or Addington St, Ramsgate & a high price is being sought privately. I must stress that the afore-mentioned (TDC's/English Heritage advisor) knows nothing of its location nor does ERA (who now are largely concerned with wider 'community' based issues) BUT somebody somewhere knows something!!!
thanks Eric...
