This page shows images of transport in Ramsgate and its port. Ramsgate is a seaside town in the district of Thanet in east Kent, England. It was one of the great English seaside towns of the 19th century. In 2001 it had a population of around 40,000. Ramsgate’s main attraction is its coastline, and its main industries are tourism and fishing. The town has one of the largest marinas on the English south coast, and the Port of Ramsgate has provided cross-channel ferries for many years.

Ramsgate Lighthouse

Work on creating Ramsgate harbour began in 1749, and the East and West piers were finished in 1779. A lighthouse was completed at the end of the West Pier in 1795. This was replaced in 1842 with the current tower. Two rock breakwaters have been added to the harbour more recently, each of which have small lights.

Commanding a central position on Ramsgate seafront, the building was once a vibrant public space, housing a concert hall and assembly rooms. Today, it stands dilapidated and deserted, having been closed since 2008. Its open arcade has been infilled and much insensitive modernisation has taken place. Balconies and decorative crests have gone – and with them the sense of fun that the building embodied. Latest news suggests that Wetherspoon's are to use if as a megapub.

Ramsgate Marina Pier was a pleasure pier, at the far end of the promenade to the harbour quays. It was opened in 1881 and was 550 feet long. Since free promenading was available on the more conveniently located harbour breakwater, it was never a financial success. It suffered three accidents of fire, ship collision and being hit by a mine in 1917-18. It was demolished in 1930.

Ramsgate Harbour railway station is a former railway station in Ramsgate opened in 1863 as part of the Kent Coast Railway company's extension of its line from Herne Bay. It was conveniently situated for the seaside resort's beach, but it closed in 1926 after a reorganisation of railway lines in the Thanet area.
