You have made a truly beautiful film with stunning visuals, wonderful editing and great story-telling. It must have taken days and days of work. THANK YOU. The only downside, right now, is the number of your subscribers, which is ridiculous. (I've just subscribed!) - Richard of Hythe

My grandmother came from Folkstone, I remember going there for a holiday when I was a child. I lived in Orpington,I now live in Australia.

This documentary about Folkestone's Fishing History is a delight to watch and learn about. The filming and interviews capture the memories and activities of the fishing heritage - and, sadly, an industry in decline. This sort of social documentary, therefore, is essential before this diminishing generation of fishermen are no long around to recollect their lifestyle. Good wishes to the work of the Museum too.

Brilliant memories, as a friend of the Dungeness Tart fishing family i wonder if the collector of congers was Bob Tart ?

My mother's maiden name was Butler ... I wanted to follow in his foot steps but sadly it never happened ... One of my first memories was watching the the days catch dropped on a concrete slab and people bidding ...I couldn't of been more than three years old .. Thank you, that truly was a wonder to watch

Hi Alan. Very interesting article on the history of fishing industry in folkestone. I walk down the harbour regularly. The the old iconic cobbled streets around the harbour and the Ship in fascinate me. I wonder how old they are?
