Door 21

Joyeux Noel!

We headed down to the Harbour Arm, Goods yard this evening where on our arrival we found… No door? But we did see a wolf, a hyena and a woolly rhino! Very curious indeed!

All was to be revealed when the lights went down and a booming voice was heard on the speakers… 350 million years ago, there was a mega flood that separated the UK from France! Soon after we were treated to a wonderful film starring some Folkestone students travelling over to France to learn about this historic event that changed the landscape of the UK and France forever.

When the film finished we were invited to draw our hopes and aspirations for our wonderful, beautiful environment on the floor of the Goods Yard. We drew our ideas in chalk – a fitting full circle moment as it’s the chalk under the channel that was covered by the mega flood. What a fantastic educational and entertaining evening.

A special thanks goes to the students involved in the making of the film, Louella and the team at Kent Downs & Sidonie Carey-Green for creating the film.

Also thanks again to the Harbour Arm team.

This evening we were based at the Goods Yard and were collecting for Homestart Shepway.
