9 Beach Street

Folkestone

Above photo showing the "Blue Anchor" centre. On the left is the "Providence Inn" and on the right the "Queen's Head Hotel."

Addressed as Seagate Street in 1862.

Has been referred to as the "Anchor" but as often the local papers used to use the colloquial term, and this has led to some confusion.

This page is still to be updated.
