  The church opposite the Town Hall is the one that burnt out having closed from lack of congregation. I believe it was quite modern. It is one of several that have gone, including St Bartholomew's and the other one at the top end of London Road that became a club (it backs onto Oswald Road). These churches close because there is so little interest. It would be good for the town to see the one opposite the old Royal Vic Hosp turned into flats as it can only bring people into the town centre (what there is left of it). We have some lovely old churches here in Dover, specifically St Mary's and St Andrew's that I know of.
  I really do not know what tourists coming in from Europe that Alexander is referring to. Very few stop off on their way through. Even those that come on coach trips go straight on to Canterbury which has far more to offer in many ways. The main tourists that I see around are the children who come on school trips from France, or people from the cruise ships, who, as discussed in other strands, too often find nothing to do here, often through lack of guidance.
