Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folkestone During the War: A Record of the Town's Life and Work This volume is an evidence of local patriotism. It was made possible by the public spirit of the writers and publishers, to whom the Editor expresses his indebtedness. No town in England has a record of war work comparable with that of Folkestone. The coast-line from Dover to Hythe forms a strategic point of vital importance. It was not only the nearest to the fighting line, but the key-position to England. Looking back, it is wonderful to observe how little it suffered and how nobly it bore the strain of continual anxiety.

Book excerpt: This fascinating compilation of over 220 pictures of bygone Folkestone has been drawn entirely from the author's own extensive collection. It encompasses nearly a century and a half of the town's history, starting with a chapter dedicated to watercolours of the town painted by the artist Joshua Marsh in the 1820s. At the other end of the time scale, the effects of the Second World War and subsequent new developments are also fully chronicled. As befits a maritime town, all aspects of Folkestone's relationship with the sea are comprehensively covered. Fishing, pleasure-boating, beach activities and maritime ceremonies such as the Blessing of the Sea are all mentioned here. The transport section includes images from both the horse-drawn and motorized eras, and finally there is a chapter on ceremonies and celebrations, from victory parades to Coronations and Jubilees.Not only will this book awaken nostalgic memories in those who knew Folkestone as it used to be, but it will also be of great interest to newcomers to the area who wish to learn about the town's history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folkestone and Dover At no season does Folkestone cease to be Charm ing. Thus did a much-travelled American some years ago pay tribute to one of the chief of the south of England watering-places, a town which, if it has little that is old to show and no very' striking history to tell, thoroughly serves its purpose as a watering-place and healthful holiday resort. Many thousands Of visi tors from London and other parts of England every year make Folkestone the spot in which they seek Change from the year's work in healthful rest and play, and hnd - in its striking situation, its beautiful air - that which they seek. I always go to Folkestone l have more than once heard from people when the perennial topic of the annual holiday has come up, and the words are an eloquent tribute to the attractions of the place. Many of our 'cross-channel neighbours, too, have found its Cliffs and shores, inland villages and diversified countryside an attractive contrast to the low coast, the sand dunes, and the broad fiat stretches of sand of their own Pas de Calais. During the autumn of 1914, when the outbreak of the Great War led to the devastating of Belgium and parts of north-eastern France by the troops of Germany, Folkestone became the landing-place and temporary asylum of thousands of refugees driven from their homes. Many of these, it may well be believed, after peace has restored them to those homes, will come again in kindlier times to the pleasant coast on which they found a welcome in the time of their agony and terror.
