Gas installation, Foord Road North... (C) John Baker
A deep trench has been excavated in the left carriageway for the gas pipes, which has necessitated traffic lights being installed to control the flow of traffic. The viaduct carries the railway line between Folkestone Central and Dover Priory stations.

Sealink Ferry at Folkestone Harbour Pier, 1979 A Sealink cross Channel ferry berthed at the pier in Folkestone Harbour in 1979.
Sealink was the brand name for the ferry services of British Rail which ran shipping services in the United Kingdom and Ireland from 1970 until 1984. All of Sealink’s Folkestone-Calais sailings were switched to Dover following privatisation in 1984. The Folkestone – Boulogne service continued until the end of 1991 when it was closed by the then operators Stena Line who had bought the company in 1990.
Folkestone Harbour ceased to serve as a cross channel passenger port in September 2000, when the Seacat Folkestone-Boulogne service was closed (http://www.folkestoneharbour.com/pages/history.html Folkestone Harbour Company).
