Have you ever been to Folkestone, Kent?

Glen H. Sep 18, 2009, 6:52 pm
Hi Andy - although I'm a fellow resident of Kent I haven't been to Folkestone for some years. Main things I remember are the Sunday market and the old Russian submarine in the harbour. The place was run down but still had some good points (like most places I suppose) - the Leas looking down out to sea. Will be interesting to see how the redevelopment goes but I'm very sceptical that it will become a cruise port especially when the established Dover terminal is right on the doorstep.

By the way, I write a Kent blog - http://kenttodayandyesterday.b... which you may find of interest.
