As a child, our family used to holiday for three weeks most summers in the 1960s. It was a wonderful place to holiday back then, the beautifully stylish grand hotels, seafront cafes with jukeboxes playing Beatles hits, the fabulous mirrors and chrome Morelli's Ice cream bar and watching rock being made in Rowlands Rock shop at the top of the hill. As with anywhere, all things change (sadly, not for the better), so one just has to make do with fond memories of Folkestone in a bygone age.

Love the Old High Street in the70's and 80's a cornucopia of T-Shirt shops, cafes etc.. With the amusement arcades at the bottom and round the corner into Tontine Street. Not to mention the Shoreline Fish & Chip Shop (or Fish Bar as they say there) in Tontine Street. Latterly run by my Uncle Trevor. Great days.

@@VSBIK I am looking at a video of Folkestone my home town and I do not recognise any of the shops! I loved the Acropolis and Morellis! I was a hippie! I went to Holywell Sec. School for girls. Loved to explore the Warren and go to all the cinemas!

I was a sales rep and made a twice weekly call on Tesco, Cashmart and Pricerite on Cheriton Road. Early 70’s....bet they are all gone now. Us Mods from Herne Bay and Canterbury would go to Tofts for acts like Freddie Mack and Geno Washington .......good days.

Love Folkestone, haven't been for many years. A lot of pedestrianisation. I bet Bobby's is long gone. Anyone remember the Paragon cafe? Used to get in there in my teens. Edit. I just remembered seeing "The Move" play at Lees cliff hall. I must have been 14 or 15 at the time.
