Part of the redundant dock platform is on the right of this view and had recently received perimeter fencing. The station building resides at forty-five degrees to the platforms. 4 Cig No. 1876 had been allocated to the depot at Ramsgate since 14th May 1993, having previously been based at Eastleigh. © David Glasspool

Spacious booking halls were produced by the Southern Railway at both Margate and Ramsgate stations. That at the latter has a floor area of about 45 feet by 80 feet, and upon the wall in the rear of the above photograph is the SR crest. © David Glasspool

Subways were produced by the LC&DR at Margate, Faversham and Herne Bay, and the SR followed suit at the new Ramsgate layout. The staircases to either island platform are flanked either side by ornate railings, which in turn supported overhead lights. © David Glasspool

A view across the station from platform 2 gives evidence of the signal box. It is invariably obscured by rolling stock, parked in the adjacent sidings. Despite modernisation during the Kent Coast Electrification, the cabin still had control over the yard. © David Glasspool
