Hi
My wife grew up in Hawkinge, I in Lyminge.
We both went to school and later worked in Folkestone.
We have several photos that may be of interest, particularly of the Cat at Paddlesworth, our local for many years and through 3 Landlords.

Hi Rob,

Did you know Albert Hooker? The Cat was his local for many years, lived in The Street, Hawkinge.

Hi Christine
My wife Trish Downs nee Whittingstall knew him. He was a neighbour of her Aunt and Uncle Albert and Peggy Lynch.
Interestingly Paul Seward who was a friend from way back has been in touch and we are currently swooping memories.
Cheers
Rob

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.
