Memories of my childhood in Folkestone and Hythe in the 50's and 60's have come flooding back from seeing this. I remember my brother breaking his arm when he fell off the rocks on the Zig Zag; diving off the harbour wall into the outer harbour, when the tide was in of course; getting stuck in the mud in the inner harbour, when the tide was out; Saturday morning roller skating sessions in the rink next to the Rotunda. I remember living in Charlotte Street, London Street, the lower of the two houses on The Bayle Steps, Cheriton Road and West Parade in Hythe. I visited the area a few years ago to look at old childhood haunts but unfortunately was very disappointed in the condition of Folkestone town centre, the beach and the harbour areas. I wonder if anyone remembers Elliot's Dairy and shop on the corner of Charlotte Street and Dover Road?
my dad worked there when i was a kid and he would take me to work sometimes, i can still remember some of it . thanks for that.
Love it thanks :-)

TBH I think that the first background music track is rather inappropriate. The postcards are wonderful!
