Links to Royalty and Parliament Building....

I think I've worked this one out and am fairly sure I know where the door led to.  I'll hold back as I think others might have fun solving this one.

[Beachbum]

Thanks John Walker, and MartinR for not giving up the search.


So your next one: What were these Buildings for? and where does the secret door go to?

[John Walker]

It's just shown on Google as    Pablo Bronstein - Beach Hut

One of many art projects dotted around Folkestone.  Some are very strange.

There's another one a bit further along the beach walk.  The Ledge by Bill Woodrow 

I think it's over to you Beachbum.

I spent ages cruising along the road above, convinced that it was a cctv mast or such…

As ever, easy when you know the answer

A beach hut!  Not even listed.

Well you clearly had it first Beachbum, GSV shows the doors you put up.

You are so close MartinR

[John Walker]

I've got to give to you MartinR.  You don't give in easily
Move to the coastal path from the Grand and you will be very close.

[MartinR]

My brain hurts!

According to Google Maps searching for the "Grand Folkstone" goes to the "Folkstone Grand Burstin" on the Harbour Approach Road.  The Metropole is some distance away on Metropole Rd E, with "Folkstone Art Works: Yoko Ono, Earth Peace" next door.  However when I go into GSV it says "The Grand" on the front and I can see a glass veranda.  I shall resume my search later today after a lie down in a darkened room.

[John Walker]

It's a rather strange 'Creative Folkestone' artwork close to the beach. Easily visible from the GSV route along the beach.

The glass house is still in place on the front of The Grand.  Perhaps you are looking at the equally large Metropole Hotel next door?

Hope that helps.
