Nice day in Folkestone

Went for a walk down to the beach and up through the town. Everything's looking GREAT down by the beachy bits, loads of people about, even live entertainment outside the pubs down in the harbour. Here's Clare by the beach:



See a similar view from 1920, or some more pictures if you're interested... Walked up the Old High Street, what a disappointment that is now, lots of places still not developed at all and most of the ones that were opened as something have now closed again. Maybe it was just too early before and it'll get a second wind, I hope so. The centre of town itself is still an abomination of course, but peripheries of Folkestone make this a really nice place to be sometimes.
