I would have expected it to date to the mid 1930’s at the earliest.

My parents retired to St Margaret’s Bay, in the other direction from Dover. I have childhood memories of Folkestone, most memorably, a Sunday School coach trip on an exceedingly chilly, rainy day – but this did not deter me from going for a swim!
It is an area steeped in history, and well worth a second look. There is peace up on the white cliffs, as I found when I went to scatter their ashes last year in the place that they loved.
It is a coastline definitely worth a second look and I am pleased to read that you too had a memorable walk.
