More about this scene

We may be thankful that this beautiful cottage in the tiny hamlet of Frogholt near Newington (just outside Folkestone) remains unchanged today. Just a few hundred yards from here, Channel Tunnel trains whistle past on their way to and from the continent.

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Frogholt

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

The Old Mill House, Frogholt, was demolished to make way for The Channel Tunnel and M20. The man who owned the house had a Channel Tunnel Party for anyone who wanted to attend. There was a live band, drinks and lots of local people. He was paid a lot of money to move out and TML bought all the land. They also bought the houses in Newington and the whole community had to move.
