Pavement Pounders and the Folkestone Book Festival
The Folkestone Book Festival have again asked Pavement Pounders, a local community interest
company to devise and lead a guided walk. This year the walk will be loosely
based on the theme of innovation – scientific, artistic, metaphorical and
concrete – both past and present. From the coming of the railways 150 years ago
to the making of The Creative Quarter, innovation has been central to the story
of Folkestone.
