Watering-Places of England - Folkestone, Kent, 1850. 'Whoever turns to the Second Volume of our Journal, may there see how Folkestone started in the year 1842 from a little town of narrow streets and fishermen's cottages; its harbour choaked up with earth, sand, and beach; and the place altogether, notwithstanding its excellent sea-bathing, overlooked and neglected. Within ten years, the entire face of the locality has been changed; the harbour has been rendered commodious; and detached villas, terraces, streets, pavilions, hotels, and inns have sprung up, so as to render Folkestone a place of first-rate accommodation. All this has been effected by the touch of the South-Eastern Railway; and the easy transit from this point to Boulogne, the shortest route to Paris'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
