Last week I visited Hythe for the first time since I was 17 years old. My parents, three sisters and I used to holiday there during the 1950’s. We would rent a cottage in Stade Street and self cater. Our connection with Hythe started when my mother convalesced there a few times after being unwell during pregnancies. My father worked for London Transport at the time. I feel I sure I stayed with her as well and can remember there being only women and children. I could remember the name of the home was Philbeach but couldn’t remember where it was when we visited last week, therefore I was delighted when I arrived home and looked on Google to find the website with all the photographs especially those of Philbeach. The canal is just as lovely as it was and my most vivid memory was of the Fete that I am sure we saw every year. Having become reacquainted with Hythe I shall visit again soon.

Thank you so much to the lady who put the photographs on the site.

Because we have had a problem with advertisements being placed here, we have switched the security to a Folkestone question and answer. If you want to make a legitimate post here, but don't know the answer to the question, please e-mail me at folkestonethenandnow@gmail.com explaining a little of why you are posting, and I will give you the answer. Hint: it is one word, all in lower case letters.

ATTENTION: It appears you can only post to this guestbook if you are on a desktop computer. I have tested it with both an Ipad and a desktop, and it will only post from the latter. I will look for a more inclusive guestbook, but in the meantime, please accept my apologies.
