  Dover's heritage sites could easily be linked - in more ways than one. With the Western Heights weekend, as well as the Heritage Open day/week-end, where all historic sites in Dover are opened to the public for free; this links them all in a common bond.
  
  There is also Richard Mahony's White Cliffs Tour Bus and Dave Atkin's classic buses that can and do take people on a tour of Dover's sites; Dave's go to the cruise terminals, Dover Castle and Market Square, but both needs beefing up to be established services and sponsored with funding to enable them to be done.
  
  I am working on a Winter tourism initiative (for up to the end of March, at least) that will involve taking people round (linking them all together) to our historic sites, but of course it needs (financial) support.
  
  
  On the "Dover's Hall of Fame" I know that when the Town Council did this for the pathway to/from the band-stand in Pencester, the paving stones were quite expensive and were sponsored by businesses and individuals; maybe it could be done again, starting at or near Dover's beginning (when exactly was that then ?) and continuing up to the present day.
  
  You'd need sub-group set up, maybe of the Dover Society or Western Heights Preservation Society, or similar to work it all out.
