Following on from the successful publication of Folkestone's Disappearing Heritage

Pam Dray has gathered together another fascinating collection of old and new photographs to show how this area has changed over time. We have street parties, indoor skating, roller hockey matches and tributes to Harry Wiltshire, the famous Folkestone player, and Walter Tull, who was born in Garden Road and went on to be the first coloured commissioned officer in the Army.

Our journey begins at the Warren

We start our journey from the Warren, which has changed dramatically over the past 100 years. It is now a nature reserve and has been opened up with walkers in mind. Years ago you had to fight your way through the bushes to get down to the beach to collect shells and fossils.

Exploring Sugar Loaf Hill

From there we go along to the Sugar Loaf Hill area, which was all open farmland before the 1950s, looking east, west and south.
