  I just got the following off another forum it's not Dover I know but interesting all the same. Her words to explain,
  
  "it's a 1920s film (no sound) going through the Westgate tower all the way up the High Street, before it was redesigned by Hitler. Quite a bit of the first part is the same, then above about Rose Lane and it's all completely different."

  It is a great film, they showed it last year at a Film Festival at Christchurh. It can be seen and even downloaded here:
