Mr. F (FOLKESTONE) supporting Pavement Pounders Community Interest Company matched 2 numbers and won 3 extra tickets. The next winner could be you, the top prize is £25,000.00 Buy DoverLotto tickets Not only will it help us to to gather more memories, you might win £25000.00! With the numbers of those who remember that dark period dwindling by the day, fewer survive to tell their story We hope you enjoyed the audio clips of living witnesses to life in WWII Dover posted on Facebook to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the silencing of the guns which shelled the town.  These clips were provided by Pavement Pounders Community Interest Company a not for profit group run by volunteers.. Dover District Council has recognised our Dover WWII oral history project as a good cause worthy of support by approving us for their DoverLotto scheme.  
The Mitre Pub in Snargate Street was hit on that day.
Our oral history project "Keep off the Beach" is interviewing living witnesses to the shelling of Dover.
This third audio clip features Robert Hearn who lived with his parents in the Mitre pub Snargate Street which was destroyed by a shell on 26th September 1944. Happily the family survived. The pub was never rebuilt. Help us to collect and preserve these precious memories

Prescient Pool’s aim is to make existing materials available to a new audience, and to give people and communities from Folkestone (as expressed through the work of Pavement Pounders) a new and international platform that is inclusive and dynamic. The programme is event-based, focusing on three commissions from three different artists who will be developing new work based on published materials,
Look out for events relating to this project which start in March 2019
An oral history and video project centred on the map in Folkestone Museum showing where bombs, shells and VI rockets fell during WWII. The idea is to add live testimony to an otherwise rather dry exhibit.
This project is part funded by Folkestone Town Council

Join us to learn about the history of Chilham including the mystery of St Augustine’s tomb. We will cross the beautiful square between church and castle, follow the castle wall along Mountain Street on the North Downs’ Way and Canterbury pilgrims’ route while touching on the traditions of pilgrimage Before disappearing into an ancient chalk holloway climbing up to Kingswood we will talk, amongst other things, about trees! Emerging from the woods into Chilham castle grounds, private but open to us thanks to the kindness of the owners, we shall at last catch sight of our end, Canterbury Cathedral. Here we shall reveal a charming modern personal tale linking castle and cathedral told to us by the Chilham estate manager. This event is being run as part of a series of events and activities to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Kent Downs AONB and the 40th Anniversary of the North Downs Way.
This is a free event but please book to give us some idea of numbers
