Also known in past times as Waterside, East End, Goldsmid Place, Harbour Street and Town Quay.

Previous to this in 1857 an older building called the "Duke's Head" stood on the site of this premises.

This building was demolished in 1907 when it was decided to widen access to the sands and railway station. The current "Alexandra Hotel" was built some yards further back.

Thanet Advertiser, Saturday 8 August 1903.

Freehold Building Site.

Situate in Lower Harbour Street, having a frontage of 121 ft 6 in, and a total area of about 9,360 square feet, being that portion of the land and premises known as the "Alexandra," Nos. 72 and 74, Lower Harbour Street, and the "Queen's Head Inn," which will remain after the widening of the adjoining Street, together with the two licences attached to the "Alexandra" and "Queens Head."

The site is admirably adapted for the erection of a first class Hotel, Restaurant, or Shops, and special concessions will be made with this view in the conditions of sale.

The property will first be offered in one lot, and if not thus sold will be put up in 3 lots.

Particulars and conditions of sale may be obtained from the Town Clerk, Albion House, Ramsgate; the Auctioneers' Institute, Chancery Lane, E.C.; or at the Auctioneers' Office Queen Street, Ramsgate.

I believe this is now (2018) being used as a restaurant.
