On the face of it a street directory for Birchington & Westgate for 1900 doesn't sound like something one would publish by popular demand.
My reprint of J. P. Barrett's “A History of the Ville of Birchington” has brought me a number of customers interested in the their local history. I have noticed some of them looking in askance at the directories of Ramsgate, Broadstairs & Margate.
The pictures and map of Birchington were supplied from the collection of Jennie Burgess who also wrote the piece on Birchington 1900-1910. Many thanks to her without whom the book would have been less good and the cover rather drab.
The directory is reproduced with kind permission of Kellys Directories Ltd.
The pictures of Westgate are from my own limited collection, I am hoping that someone will send me some nice coloured ones to jolly it up even more
