Between Storms
Folkestone's heritage as a port:1703-1987. It was the great storm of 1703 which destroyed the town›s fishing fleet and signalled the need to build a harbour. The channel fe

rry Hengist ran aground near Folkestone in the great storm of 1987. These two storms are good reference points. The intervening years saw the development of Folkestone as a fashionable resort, two world wars, the coming of the railways and a Cross Channel ferry service. We explore this period in several ways. It is a four pronged project making use of oral history: a guided walk, a collection of writings and drawing workshops. Boots to Books
The Boots to Books Project sets out to record and expand on our guided walks in written form. plan several booklets, based on the many local walks we have devised and delivered since we set up in 2010. The first booklet in the series: “Explore Folkestone Artworks with Pavement Pounders “ appeared in May 2013 to tie in with the Creative Foundation’s launch of the Folkestone Artworks. Other titles will include: St Eanswithe And The Churches Of Folkestone, The Building Of Folkestone and Literary Folkestone. Out of the Rain
Inspired by the recent lousy summer weather, we are turning some of our walks into illustrated talks. Themes will be the same as those for The Boots to Books Project. Interested groups should contact David or Maryanne . A Joint Venture: Transitions 3
We are pleased to announce that the third edition of our Journal: Transitions will be a joint venture with The Mental Fight Club. Ben Okri patron of The Mental Fight Club has kindly contributed a poem. The artist Rosemary Clunie has provided some of the illustrations.
