This book features all its historical views in glorious colour, as well as the comparative modern views. The book is arranged as three walks which introduce the reader to the history of Folkestone. From the Beach to the Cliff Lift, from grand hotels to humble fishing cottages, Folkestone has much to interest visitors and locals alike

Recensione

I would like to say how much I have enjoyed this book, with all the delightful pictures of "Folkestone Then and Now". I am an old Folkestonian, born here in May 1916. Folkestone of course has changed unbelievably since I was a little child and lived at No. 6 Bouverie Square - Marks & Spencer's was half way down the High Street and everything was one penny! My grandfather, James Munckton, had a saddlers shop in Sandgate Road opposite Oclee's, the Jewellers. It closed during WW1, when he died. Once there was a rabies scare and they made a lot of money making muzzles for dogs! Behind the shop was a garden and they kept two horses there! Thank you again for the pleasure your book has given me. Vera Maitland Leveson, Folkestone --James M, Folkestone
