Escondido (Sandgate) CLOSED next week

Escondido (Sandgate) CLOSED next week

Escondido are closing again for some work to be done! Will this be the long promised extension into the basement? Can't see it. Anyway it's closed from the 24th to the 1st of May. Best phone if you're planning on going there... Seems odd being closed over the weekend, but I guess it's the pre pay day weekend.

(Walking the streets of Sandgate so you don't have to...)

This is part of my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
