The curry house at the bottom of our road is gone. We didn't use it very often, they were pretty unreliable with takeaway, though was good when I ate in once. A friend was there at Christmas, so it was open then. I noticed the signage was changing again, thought it was changing names back. It's been Raj Bari and Raj Villa and then Spice Cottage (plus of course Little Chef a long time ago). But no, just looks closed now.
No planning notices up yet, but it would be a prime spot to throw a few nice flats up. Would actually impinge on our view if they were high enough, I don't fancy that much! Should be another restaurant, a nice one that made use of the sea view they have.
Will report back if I spot anything.
This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I built in a frenzy of excitement when we first moved here in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy resource for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
