    Excellent Marek.

    I live in Essex and have never lived in Dover but about 8 years ago I was doing some research on an architect who built the London office block I worked in and had connections with Dover, Arthur Beresford Pite (1861 - 1934.) Pite married a local Dover woman, Mary Kilvington Mowll in 1887 and built the Former Customs Watch House. Mary's family were quite prominent locally as coal merchants and involved with the Cinque of Ports. They also donated land for a cemetery to be built - Cowgate cemetery. I stumbled across Doverforum whist carrying out this research and posted a request for information. Through that I came to 'talk' to some lovely people. I visited Dover shortly afterwards and got to meet many of them at one or two social functions and have made some wonderful lifelong friends.
