A busy scene at Folkestone

This Frith’s Series card was sent to Winnie Barber from Connie on 20th August 1923.

I thought that the photograph on the card must date from much earlier than this as it has an Edwardian feel to it, but apparently the path was built in this form in 1921 as a new attraction whilst also providing work for the unemployed. The distinctive thing about this path is that the “stone” cliff face is made from waste material, coated with Pulhamite.

Connie was feeling cold but was having a good time “playing tennis, eating etc” although boys were scarce!
