Broadmead Road, Folkestone
Taken from its junction with Ship Street. The 100 yds sign refers to the railway bridge whose arch can just be seen at the end of the road. It bears the following number Image and is situated well above the pavement, which is protected from vehicles negotiating the tunnel by an enclosed railing. There is not enough room in the tunnel for passing traffic so there are traffic lights at each end to control it. The building with a pointed dormer roof was divided into two shops, the left one became Broadmead Stores but it is now closed.

Folkestone?s former gasworks, Ship Street
Home to Folkestone Triennial 2021 to display a sculptural installation by the artist Jacqueline Donachie entitled Beautiful Sunday.
The view of Image shows a notice affixed to the fence, which mentions all the dance floors in Folkestone past and present. I presume this sculpture represents one of them.

Folkestone?s former gasworks, Ship Street
Home to Folkestone Triennial 2021 to display a sculptural installation by the artist Jacqueline Donachie entitled Beautiful Sunday.
The notice affixed to the fence, is identified as The Plot C7 and bears the following information, “The production of gas at the Ship Street Gasworks ceased in 1959 but the social club for workers and local residents remained active on the derelict site for many years after. This story inspired the artist to make a sculpture to ‘celebrate all the dance floors in Folkestone’ past and present, which you will find marked out in the surface of the stage. The accompanying film documents line dance indigenous to Glasgow, the artist’s home town, called the Slosh. Beautiful Sunday is the title of the 1972 hit single by Daniel Boone”.

Ship Street, Folkestone
As can be seen the road was closed - for the installation of gas pipes, one of which can be seen lying on the right hand side of the road. A deep trench had been dug on the left hand side of the road and shored up with steel sheeting.
