Apparently it is sandstone from the Folkestone Formation of the Lower Greensand Group. The glorious golden cliff came "out of the blue", opposite the old school - quite a surprise. At the bottom it dissolves into a pile of the finest sand. Bucket and spade provided. Must have been heaven for the school kids of yore. Not a mention of this curiosity anywhere in the local tourist information. Eventually I found Tom Walsingham's 2009 photo Image, so pale without the sun on it that I did not spot it at first.
