A photograph taken from an old book of views. It was taken from the Victoria Pier Folkestone and shows the West Beach, along with Marine Crescent and Marine Parade, both of which are still there. The photo shows several bathing machines, and two of the W. D. Fagg's Safety Bathing Carriages which ran down to the sea on rails. (An explanation of these is linked from the West Beach page). The only structure I do not recognise, and have not seen it in any other photograph is whatever that is towards the back on the right side of the photograph. Was it to do with the railway pier? Or was it this side of it? If anyone knows, I would love to hear about it.
