Folkestone Town, a Walking History Tour Guide Using Old Postcards Kent UK 

I went to boarding school in Folkestone… looking at this video it’s actually made me realise that I miss it…I grew up there and although I’m not from Folkestone it’s probably the closest thing I have to a home town. The postcard of the Sealink ferry brought back all the memories of catching the ferry to go back home for school holidays…

This is fantastic I was born in Dover 71 and spent the happiest days of my childhood between there and Folkestone iv not been bk in over 30 yrs and this was like a dream for me watching thank you so much

My mums from folkestone...a few years ago we went with two of her sisters on a pilgrimage as her 12 year old brother was buried there at Hawkinge...but the stories and memories they shared with me was priceless ... especially finding out the church where my grandparent married is a wetherspoons..they would be mortified as they where absolutely tee total

Well done Jeremy keep videos coming thanks dave 👍 Folkestonean😊😊

Thank you. this was great as it has brought back so many memories of going to Folkestone on holiday every year in the late 60s and all of the 70s when I was a kid. I remember near the beach with the arches there was a Darlek I used to ride on. It was next to where the sunny sands kiosk is now. there were other amusements just behind the kiosk that used to sell rubber rings, windmills etc. Oh, how I miss the rotunda, fair and the Sunday market next to the rotunda. The caple-le-fern clifftop cafe was my favourite cafe. At the bottom of the old high street were amusements on both sides instead of a cafe and bounce (according to google maps?). the lights along Marine parade was lovely at nighttime. I loved going to the Folkestone theatre at the start of Marine parade but I can remember what it was called? A lot has changed a lot since then!

Well done Jeremy very nice to remember the past and present keep smiling be good John

Remind me when I was studying in this towm 30more yeas ago ,best regard

Great video. The postcard at the beginning is just how I remember it as a child on holiday there numerous times in the 1960s. Wonderful. I loved the boating pool in particular. Looking at Folkestone now, much of the Victorian and Edwardian splendour and style has been trashed by subsequent ill-thought planning and development. Sadly, the new sea-front development looks to continue that theme.

Wonderful presentation, Jeremy. Brings back many memories of the 70s & 80s as I regard Folkestone as my 2nd home. Currently down here at the moment (staying at The Grand Burstin), enjoying the fresh air getting away from London and its frenetic pace. Thanks again!

Just came across this . Great idea. Loved it.

Very interesting. Thank you.

I was born in Folkestone on Sidney st

This is awesome just missed out the drunks and crack heads lol

Love Folkestone, absolute disgrace the sandles property developer has been allowed to building those awful apartments on the beach!

Great video, although it made me feel sad. Progress eh.
