ASHLEY HOMES has recently purchased the Rank Hovis Mill in Ramsgate. This new scheme will offer contemporary loft style apartments that have never been done before in this area with state of the art technology and under ground parking.
That was as of about four years ago and due to the recession development is non-existent. History on this place is rather scarce, the Pugin society website lists it as designed in part at least by A.W.N Pugin, famous for the interior of the Houses of Parliament amongst other things. Rank Hovis is Britain's leading flour miller and still maintains eight mills across Britain. This site seemed to fall victim to modernisation and inefficiency.
This was my second visit but the first with interior shots, the place is a lot worse for wear externally now but internally graffiti and damage is minimal but I can see this going downhill soon. Visited with SDP and Charlie Brown.
Again constructive criticism is cool, pm me if you want to visit or do anything in the area, I'm pretty much always free, cheers,
