Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yoinks, yesterday someone chucked themselves off the roof of Bouverie Square in Folkestone, and today the end of our road was sealed off by police because of a "scene". Police were stopping anyone getting close to what had happened, so a) we had to w...

New shop new shop new shop

It's all very well these nice new shops like Mini Mooch opening in Folkestone, but to be honest, that Old High Street is a bit too far away when you live in the opulent West End, like what I do. So it's great to see a new shop called Farago, opening ...

History in my day

Another bright and breezy morning, just cool enough to stop me walking down town in just a t-shirt, but warm enough not to stop me walking down town at all. I headed the usual route past the courts and the DSS (all the nice scenic points), to what I�...

That new build on Bouverie Road West is sold at last! Not sure how much for, it was last up for 640,000 - I will be refreshing on our property for the final details...For more property fun check out the Folkestone property section or the fledgeling F...

Property of the week

Hmm, an irregular series here... Doesn't look like much from the outside, and to be fair I've not seen the inside either, but 120k for two beds with a sea view! How bargainous if property in Folkestone still then? Hmm, this place seems to be up for ...

High spec house reduced

This place on Bouverie Road West has been up for sale for a while, it's now been reduced from 675k to "only" 640k. Bargain! Highest price achieved on that road recently seems to be 405k, according to ourproperty.co.uk......

Tofts did move

from Bouverie Road West to Grace Hill I believe, though it may also have changed it's name when it moved to Grace Hill. Equally importantly though, I might have got that venue wrong, any idea of the name of the venue in Tontine Street? This is all b...

Folkestone Interweb access

Popped into somewhere on Bouverie Road West, and it's full of posh kids playing multiplayer games and swearing. A lot.

Merry xmas.

Shanel's Brasserie

Now lets get one things straight first of all. I do not go out of my way to be critical or pick faults in resturants. I would dearly love to fall head over heels with every place we visit and I'm quite happy to turn a blind eye to some shortcomings...

I think there were two different venues known as Tofts

I keep getting conflicting reports though... there was one that I think is where the police station is now, on Bouverie Road West, and then it moved to Grace Hill... ...

1901 Census

Checking the National Archives site I can find no mention of Earls Avenue from 1901 and it seems Bouverie Road West only went up to number 15 at this time, I'd have thought both these roads were much older than this......

Kapetan Michales

I think I'm going to have stop eating out in Folkestone soon - we either seem to have a comically awful meal or the restuarant closes down. I have been going to Kapetan Michales on Bouverie Road West for about 18 months and every time I have had a g...

Kalala

Went to the new Chinese restaurant / bar in Folkestone before the Darkness gig (my Darkness review is up now), and it's not bad. It's a buffet style restaurant, so it's not really competing with the Hop Kweng, but it's much nicer than the other "all ...

2 bedrooms, 150k

No, not London, still Folkestone, are they mad? Sounds nice though, and it has exposed floorboards, central heating, double glazing, 2 bedrooms and garage. It's in a "sought after area" Trinity Road, just off [[Bouverie Road West...Tonight, EXIT - un...
