Been looking for an original of More Tales From The Tap Room for ages, ie [ebay]Tales From The Tap Room[/ebay], but no joy. I have this book but would like a first edition. Get this one here and help Pilgrims Hospice, or you buy a new copy from Folkestone library.
More Tales from the Tap Room by Martin Easdown and Eamonn Rooney. A history of the Public Houses and Breweries of Folkestone, Sandgate, Cheriton, Seabrook, Shorncliffe, Morehall and Newington. P/B 232 pages with photographs and illustrations. Published 2004.
Brilliant book btw.
Speaking of the library, please install my folkestone library greasemonky plugin - each time you view a book on amazon it will tell you if the book is available (for free) in the local libraries.
This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues and stuff, and I know it was a useful reference for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a fake 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 anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
