Re. your "Pubs" database, I walked past The 'Morehall' only the other day. The site is being converted into flats, a local told me.

You may not be aware that immediately in front of the pub, beneath the pavement, there is/was an air raid shelter which, slightly injured, I entered around 2.30 am. on the night of 29 May 1941 following the devastation of one end of Morehall Avenue by a wayward parachute mine. (A photo appears elsewhere on your website which just shows the end wall of my home!)

I mentioned the shelter to one of the builders working on the redevelopment who confirmed that the pub's cellar is still present. "I'll have to cut through, he said, to verify if the shelter still exists or has been filled in." (Personally, I think it is still there!)

After the War, our house was repaired and we reoccupied it until moving to The Valiant Sailor. You have some good photos of those premises on your 'Pubs' section, I notice.

Your e-mail address is mandatory in order to post a message or a reply, but it will be hidden from the page. It will never be used for any purpose other than to possibly contact you if you get an answer to a query you posted.

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.
