Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I am the most sorriest person ....as I don't have a memory of this amazing place...but my 3 x great-grandmother died in this street and was found by her grand daughter Susannah Swain (nee West).
What did it look like then...I wish I had been there...
I was at secretarial college in Folkestone in the mid sixties and "The Old High Street" was my stamping ground, along with "Tofts". I remember Archie and Andy who owned the Acropolis at the top on the left and of course Mick who owned "Micks" or "El Torero" at the bottom on the right. Names which come to mind are, in no particular order :) Bruno and Harry B, Geoff C, Micky O and many others ... my word : a lot of water under a lot of bridges since then.
