  You wonder what has happened to us
  
  Looking at this wonderful stuff, it is not as if the Developers, Councellors,
  Biggy Wiggy's did not have an idea of what Dover looked like originally.....
  
  They aught to hang themselves and heads in shame....Oh for the likes of
  William Crundall..........and visionaries again....
  
  Excellent Cath.................and Oh so Interesting............Many Thanks...
  
  
  Good luck with the petition

  Fabulous stuff, Kathy. The crowds of people intrigue me; will we ever see such numbers for events in town again or is it just something that we don't do anymore? The Olympic Torch evening might be a test.
  
  Vic,
  all cobblers?!!

  thought i would raise this to the top as so many threads are being started and people might miss the chance to leaf through these amazing photos.

  Glad you all found them interesting.
  
  We get quite a lot of queries about Dover people (in the past) through the Dover Society website enquiries.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
