The site of Ramsgate Harbour station, Kent, 5 September 2020. The terminus was opened in 1863 by the Kent Coast Railway (later part of the LCDR) as Ramsgate; when the KCR became part of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway in 1871 it was renamed Ramsgate and Saint Lawrence-on-Sea. In 1899 the LCDR and South Eastern Railway formed a working union, the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, and they renamed the station again, to Ramsgate Harbour. The Southern Railway built a new line on the outskirts of the town in 1826 with a new Ramsgate station which resulted in the closure of Ramsgate Harbour station and the ex-SER Ramsgate Town station. The Harbour station was quite a grand affair with an overall roof and, unusually, a turntable at the end of the platforms instead of buffers. The site is now being redeveloped with flats and cafes.
Built in 1912. Ornamental letting very stylish, seems a kind of mixture of Victorian Gothic and Art Nouveau.
The odd thing is that no one seems to be interested in the most interesting part of this lift, the lettering, very few photos of the lift bother to show it.
