on local news earlier that someone famous had "tweeted" disparaging remarks about folkestone and the unlikely event of regeneration happening.
simon jones dutifully asked a few people there what they thought and the results were a carbon copy of utterances by dover residents on their town.

Howard - all the photos you have posted are Victorian/Edwardian/just post Edwardian examples of Folkestones beleaguered structural treasures.

Forget the estuary, there is the beginnings of an airport right there.

that should please the locals tom, in fairness to folkestone the walk from the old high st/tontine st towards the area set for regeneration is very attractive with lovely flower beds(posted on another thread) and the harbour.
