Our first September talk is by Henry Cleary OBE, Chair of the Maritime Heritage Trust and celebrates the fact that our Royal Harbour in Ramsgate has now been designated a 'Heritage Harbour". Why is this important and what are the benefits for town and people?
Paul Atterbury, exhibition curator and familiar to many through the Antiques Roadshow, will be in discussion with Rosemary Hill, author of the outstanding biography of Pugin 'God's Architect'.
Diane Harvey-White explores the impacts and comedic elements of a working harbour that received royal status in 1821 and had to accommodate royal personages at the same time as operating efficiently for the every-day occurrences.
