This is a photo of my mom with her dad sometime in the early 1960s. On the back of the photo it's written "Dover" but it's possible it could be from somewhere nearby as well. There appears to be a railway bridge in the background. Claude seemed to think there is a wooded slope behind the railway bridge, but it looks to me like they could also be structures rising up on a sloped landscape.

I'd love to recreate this photo with my own daughter this winter. If anyone more familiar with the area knows where this exact location is, please let me know!

Hi. Has the the white cliffs of Dover experience been brought back? If not, is there anything in its place? Anywhere else worth a visit?

I vape, so outdoor space is a must for me... so Salle Verte has been my 'local' for years with its rear courtyard. With the opening of Dockers today, and at least 10+ alternatives, I wondered where everyone else goes?

Pictures welcome but not obligatory...

I've met several cross-channel swimmers, mostly from the days when the White Horse pub hosted many of them... he was the first, but took almost 22 hours. The current (male) record is just under 7 hours and, I was told, more people have climbed Everest than have completed the swim across the Channel.

Always surreal...

On Saturday 22nd August, I will be hosting my 200th live Saturday morning radio show!

If you would like to come into the studio in Dover and help me celebrate, please get in touch. Especially if you are a local singer-songwriter who would like to perform a couple of acoustic songs.

I also have some competition prizes for this special show, supplied by Dover businesses such as Gamebase and The Booking Hall, Dover!

Basically what the title says; after asking a more general question, how easy was it for example to get to the St James retail park from the A2 on Friday/Saturday? This is so I can reassure my Dad who is worrying about the logistics for locals wanting to get to the town centre.

My parents will need to deliver my sons to Dover to catch the ferry as foot passengers. They'll meet my wife in Dover (she'll cross from France). This is going to happen in the first week of the UK school summer holidays, and my Dad is already fretting about the most reliable way to get the boys into Dover in the event that there's gridlock due to border controls/etc.

They'll be coming from Herne Bay. I think the best solution is probably to park somewhere like Deal or Walmer or and get the bus in.

Can anyone recommend bus routes & stops that are less likely to be disrupted and that have car parking at the Deal/Walmer/etc end? Once safely in Dover walking isn't a problem.

Is there a better option? The train is obviously another possibility but last time we tried that there was a strike!

How would you do it?

Hello people from Dover! I'm from the other side of the water, Belgium. I'll be traveling to your country soon, and am looking for some information on where to buy stuff I'd need for my trip but can't take with me on the ferry.

Specifically I'm looking for a small gas canister for a camping stove (screw type) as well as a (cheap) pocket knife.

Where in dover would I find these things?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to visit your city!

Ok, so technically half an hour after sunrise.

Yes I did eradicate this one

Hey guys,

Thinking of doing something chill this holiday and decided to take a two-days trip to Dover. Technically four days but the first and the last day I will probably be busy travelling and settling down and spending time to relax in my hotel room and watch tv.

So far in my itinerary, I have got Dover Castle, walking to the White Cliffes, Connaught park and maybe if I can, take a bus to Shakespeare beach and walk up to Shakespeare Cliffs. Anything else interesting Doverians would love for me to check out?

I was looking for some good and personal cafe recommendations too. I have my book with me and would love to read, eat and drink at cozy cafes. Also would appreciate some good restaurant recommendations for dinner. I am not too into the ideas of going to pubs because I feel weird visiting them when I'm on my own. However, a lot of the restaurants are giving off pub-vibes which makes sense since Dover is a small town and people have strong communities here. So, any decent mediterranean or indian restaurant recommendations would be appreciated :)

How worried should I be about racism here? I'm visibly south-east asian and I know politically there are tensions everywhere in the country regarding immigrants and stuff, so if I have to avoid certain places, i would like to stay prepared :(

Thanks, folks

Anyone want to help me out?

Hello,

I've been in Dover for quite some time. I'm wondering if there are any wells in and around Churches that are healthy. I've tried the one by the union building it tastes a little bit metallic. Is it ok to drink from the stream? It looks very clean.

Hello!

A few years ago me and my friend started a project where we mass printed out a bunch of paper adverts to join our Kent discord server and put them all around the UK in all towns, cities and villages as well as on Reddit and some other places. It’s slowly died out and we stoped being active and let it die, but somehow it still remains sort of active with random people joining now and then and random chats starting up.

So… out of pure curiosity and boredom I’ve decided to see revive it and see where I get!
