Folkestone Under Attack
A new project for 2019-21
|
An oral history and video project centred on the map in Folkestone Museum showing where bombs, shells and VI rockets fell during WWII. The idea is to add live testimony to an otherwise rather dry exhibit. We have raised £3,400.00 more than half of our target of £6,000.00. Thanks to the combined generosity of Folkestone Town Council, The Roger DeHaan Charitable Trust and Folkestone & Hythe District Councillors, Jan Holben, Frank McKenna , Rory Love Cllr. Anne Berry is our latest contributor. Thank you Anne! Response to our first call for interviewees has been enormous. This is going to be a much bigger project than we anticipated!
