The Fountain might reopen soon

FG ≫ 2013 ≫ The Fountain might reopen soon

I have been doubting if it would open at all but there seems to be lots of work going on there, the doors have been open and people have been working inside, and there's scaffolding all over it so the outside is getting a spruce too. One thing that made me doubt it's recovery was the wording saying The Fountain being taken down, but I hope that is just so that can be decorated too.

If it was not a pub what could it be?

I suspect there is going to be lots of development just around this area over the next few years. There is a big plot where Seabrook Police Station picture used to be (before my time) that has been cleared... I hope it's something palatable that is built there and not some cheapo flats1.

This is my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events + voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a useful reference for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) 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 by the way, this comes from the name of 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 contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
