Old Folkestone High Street

A Memory of Folkestone.

Memories? Many! Worked on the refurbishment of some of the shops on the left of the picture.
Often went to the 'pictures' at the Central Cinema in George lane up the top. My late wife worked as secretary for the manager of Plummers at the top.
Pre WW2 we used to play up and down the High Street and up onto the Bayle. Then down into South Street.
Grandparents bought my first real pair of shoes in a shop at the top of the picture.
We bought my late wife's engagement ring and our wedding ring up on the left.
Spent hours watching the men making sweets in Rowlands shop just on the right.
Guess this was my childhood playground!
