I thought it was popular, has this one gone too?
I hear it's being turned into flats. Of all the pubs that might close, this one surprises me. Not that I went there, but I thought a lot of people did.
Don't even have the car this week so I can't check it out on the way home.
Any other recent pub closures please leave a message, twitter @pauly or email fg@folkestonegerald.com please.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events + voting for best venues + things, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love 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 by the way, this comes from a fake paper 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 great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
