One resource that seems invaluable in Folkestone history terms would seem to be [abe=mackie folkestone neighbourhood]A Descriptive and Historical Account of Folkestone and Its Neighbourhood, with Gleanings from the Municipal Records[/abe], quite a mouth full, usually referred to as just [abe=mackie folkestone neighbourhood]Mackie[/abe] (or [abe=mackie folkestone neighbourhood]Folkestone and its neighbourhood[/abe]. That has a mention of The Radnor Club, on page 97, this index to it says so...
I've found this research quite fascinating, I didn't realise how easy it would be to [abe=mackie folkestone neighbourhood]get a copy of the long out of print Mackie[/abe], I'm getting one.
This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when we first moved here sometime in 2004. 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 a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, 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 newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
