 Lady Judith Montefiore College. Lady Judith was married to Sir Moses Montefiore, the Jewish Philanthropist. Born in 1784, her father was the Dutch businessman Levi A Barnet Cohen. Her sister Hannah was married to Nathan Mayer Rothschild, the head of the Rothschild family. On Judith's death in 1862 Sir Moses established the College dedicated to her memory as a rabbinical training college. |

the college was a beautiful building,but was pulled down when it was vacated,such a waste. |

at the end of the rink there is a drop of about20ft,this was where chalk was taken for lime,years before.there are houses with the backs to the cliff,in 1942 i lived in no1 lime cottages, we had a short tunnel into the cliff at the end of our garden, it was used as an airraid shelter by locals,i still remember old ladies crying when we went in. |

| What on earth could this be? A chimney in the middle of the field with nothing else around it? Charcoal kiln? |

it looks about in the right position to be a ventilation shaft for one of Ramsgate's railway tunnels - possibly a steam train passing through as the photo was taken? |

Contemporary OS maps show an air shaft in the SE&CR tunnel to Ramsgate Harbour station at precisely this point. I suppose you can also deduce that the train is departing rather than arriving ! |

This is the Montefiore Synagogue built in 1833 by a famous 19th Century banker and philantropist Moses Montefiore who died in 1885 aged 100. He also lived in the nearby house. |

Definitely Dumpton Park Drive, Ramsgate. It was Huntons Ltd, press toolmakers, from the sixties through the nineties. I worked there '77-'88. There was a major fire mid-eighties and the remainder of the original sprung maple flooring from the skating rink was lost. It's now an antiques and collectables market. |

Please note this is NOT Folkestone. The pictures before and after are. It is definitely Dumpton Park, near Ramsgate, as your corespondents have pointed out, which is under Thanet. Folkestone is under Shepway Council, and is many miles away from Ramsgate. |

The chimney was probably used to vent the smoke from the steam trains which ran in the tunnel below. |

Dear all, That’s great; we’ve reviewed all your comments and useful information. Thanks to your help we can update the catalogue. The revised record will appear here in due course. You may be interested to know that the original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry for this glass plate was "Folkestone - Rink". Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |

Spot on BigglesH - you can see the buildings described as mausoleums - refer to street view from Beechcroft Gardens |
