Looking across The Leas to Clifton Crescent
Folkestone had been a resort for the wealthy since Victorian times with large villas and hotels being built to take advantage of the magnificent sea views. People promenaded and took the sea air on The Leas, which was the most impressive and wealthy part of Folkestone. The Leas was designed in the mid 19th century by Decimus Burton, who also worked on buildings and gardens at London Zoo and Kew Gardens
There is still much of the air of a fashionable resort when on The Leas. This view looks across to Clifton Crescent - see also https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5795746
