RE: Graveyard - Bradstone Road?
Home
I've heard rumours that behind the big walled area in Bradstone Road, next to the tyre place, is an ancient graveyard.
Can anyone confirm this? Better still, any pictures?
Thanks.

Thanks to the article in this weeks Folkestone Herald about this web page, I have had a very enjoyable hour browsing through the site.
I came to live in Folkestone in 1947 and my family lived briefly with an aunt in Clarence Street. Very soon we managed to rent a house in Bradstone Road (The monkey puzzle houses), where we were lucky to live in a 'front' house.
I have many happy memories of the area, especially playing in the garage at the bottom of Clarence Street and Bradstone Road and the kindness of the three brothers who owned the garage. Their surname was French. They gave us local children a big room which was used as a tyre store at the back of the garage which we turned into a club room. From this room we could gain access to the Methodist cemetary which stood on high ground between "The Brickfields" and Bradstone Road.
