Having lived in Folkestone for the past couple of years, I and many of the other residents have watched this town decline rapidly no longer is it this the place that was once visited by Queen Victoria, the edwardian houses are derelict and crumbling, the shop owners are departing rapidly. The harbour that once thrived with people travelling to France for the day is now deserted and looming through the fog desperatly seeking salvation gone has the seacat and with it the heart that one beated rapidly.
However there is one advantadge to visiting Folkestone, here you have the key to the Garden of Kent, hotels are cheap and acceptable,20 minutes by car and you are in Dover port and have access to France via P & O, or Hoverspeeds new Superseacat, 10 minutes up the motorway and you can join the Eurotunnel or 20 Minutes up the motorway and you come to Ashford once a dying town now thriving thanks to McArthur Glen shopping Outlet. In summary it feels like Folkestone is now a temporary stopover spot for greater things and it is sad to watch.
