Folkestone Creative Quarter

FG ≫ 2006 ≫ Folkestone Creative Quarter

Someone's been having some fun with the Folkestone entry in wikipedia... it says:

The Creative Foundation is a new charitable organisation which is acquiring a large number of run-down properties in the Creative Quarter of Folkestone (the oldest part of town, including the Old High Street and The Bayle), renovating them and letting them at long-term affordable rents as workspaces for artists and creative businesses(some with living accommodation).

Two painters, a fisherman, an independent fashion guru, a bronze monkey, a musician (he says he is), no graphic designers, no filmmakers, etc are all taking space as the renovation work is completed.

Cheeky! You can edit this here, anyone can, there's always mischief afoot...

This is my website The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for best venues and things, + I know it was a useful resource for those who were 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. My name is not Gerald by the way, this 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 the twitter.
