FOLKESTONE- MEMORIES OF STEAM

A montage of photos and rare archival film all taken at Folkestone Harbour, Folkestone Junction and along the famous warren during the 1930's,1940's and 1950's. My brother and myself all took holidays there during the period 1956-1962 with our parents and many happy hours were spent watching trains and the numerous cross channel ferries. All sadly no more and the last steam special made its way down to the harbour for the last time earlier this year 2008. Lets hope that any redevelopment of the area will be to the benefit of the many and not just the wealthy few.
