Memories! I used to live by the Tram road in Folkestone, then it was Pannier Tanks. To think that for a century or more they used 4 little tankies because pacifics were too heavy for the swing bridge! Who was kidding who?
More - I used to spend whole Saturdays under Tangmere when she was shunted to the side of the shops at Ropley! Just cleaning off the clag and gunge!
as for the folkestone harbour brnach seacrh online for the "remembrance line" for more info about the campaign to preserve the folkestone harbour branch line as an important part of our history
