The Abrahams House in Ramsgate

[Chris]

Numbers 10 and 11 are uninhabited in the 91 census.

Thanks for checking that. Number 11 was also uninhabited in 1901. Out of season, I suppose.

As I said when I posted the pics of York Terrace, the houses now there postdate the Abrahams's lodging house. The illustration below is taken from a view of Ramsgate Harbour in the 1880s and shows York Terrace as it then was. It is in one of these houses that Abrahams would have run his business, but it is not possible to say precisely which.

To compensate for the fact that the lodging house in Albion Place has been demolished, it actually looks to me as if the one in York Terrace may still be there.

On the "Old Ramsgate (then and now)" website is a pair of views of York Terrace, the "then" one being from 1893 (scroll down to the 5th and 6th images):

Most of the buildings that were there in 1893 do seem to be still standing. Actually, I'm a bit puzzled, because last year Chris posted an old photograph of York Terrace with the location of number 11 indicated by a red cross:

Certainly if that's the right house, it appears on both the 1893 photograph and the modern one.
