The Ramsgate Station of the East Kent (London, Chatham, and Dover) Railway, 1864. 'View of the new station at...Ramsgate...recently built by Messrs. Peto and Betts from the designs of Mr. John Newton...Our readers will observe that this illustration closely resembles Mr. Frith's celebrated picture of "The Ramsgate Sands" in most respects...[apart from] the new railway station [which] is seen immediately beneath the cliff...No more prominent example of the new fashion of carrying railways into the very heart of a town could possibly be found...It is proposed to make a refreshment-room at the station, which...will provide articles of light refection both for those who travel by the railway and for the many hundreds of persons who crowd the sands below daily during the bathing season...The direct line...connecting London with the towns of Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate...has been largely patronised by the public in consequence of its providing a shorter route from the metropolis to those places by from seventeen to twenty-seven miles over any previously established system...by means of this new railway three of the most popular seaside resorts are opened up to Londoners under peculiarly favourable circumstances'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
