Was interested in your picture of Surrenden Road as my mum and family also lived there in the 1950's. They were the Browne family and my grandad had a TV and radio shop in Sandgate Road - it was called Andrews.

Dont know about anyone else but didnt Folkestone look amazing in those days. Oh to go back to visit the elegant Edwardians

I was living at number 3 Surrenden Road in the late 50's/early 60's, and my maiden name was Brown. Small world eh? (No 'e' on my name though) Ha ha.

Do you have any photos of your Grandad's shop? I would love to see it. Where in Sandgate Road was it located?

Remember the Browne sisters well, Doreen and Sandra, of 1 Cornwallis Avenue. The shop was roughly where the Town Walk enters Sandgate Road. There is a pic somewhere in one of the local history books.

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.
