Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 15 January 2011 08:0789014Now that's impressive.
Where's Clarence Quay ? Is it near the Cinque Port Arms ?
Roger - 15 January 2011 09:2389024Permission was granted for the four houses to be built at The Hope Lydden .
A very sad decision for the residents .Local people turned out in force ,remember this is a small village and gave their views.
I have been up since 5.30am trying to find a way forward .
Community does not seem to be a factor ,only when the powers at b want volunteers to do what used to be in the Public Sector
If you want Community help you have to respect the community . - 15 January 2011 09:5389028As you know I am no supporter of the standin chairman at DDC but in this case she is dead right.
- 15 January 2011 11:4989040Clarence Quay I think was where the trams went, leading up to the Lord Warden Hotel. Only one pub left there now.
Have a look at this also: http://archiseek.com/2010/1863-clarence-hotel-dover-kent/
(an Irish architectural site). The Clarence Hotel was re-named the Imperial Hotel and then the Burlington.
Originally the hotel was on the site of Clarence House the residence of Madam Sarah Rice, mother of the (later) Dover MP, Edward Royds Rice who lived at Tilmanstone.
Madam Sarah Rice was believed to be the probable 'model' on which Dickens created the character of Betsy Trotwood who shooed the donkeys off the cliffs (Madam Rice had donkeys wandering onto her lawns apparently). An interesting thought.---------------------------------------------------
Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 15 January 2011 12:1089046Correct Kath - trams did go along Clarence Quay en route to the Marine Station area and passing Holy Trinity Church. The church that received a direct hit just a few weeks before my mother and father were due to get married there - they switched to St Mary's.
- 16 January 2011 13:5689205Clarence Quay is in the southwestern corner of the Tidal Harbour and Clarence Place used to run roughly parallel to it before the Pier District was demolished.
Clarence Place was the original terminus of the tram line but the railway level crossing gates caused delays and in 1898 the service was cut back to commence at the Crosswall. This photo is copied from "Dover's Tramways" by Robert J. Harley (Middleton Press ISBN 1 873793 24 3) without permission so Paul/Howard may wish to delete it. It shows Car 10 halted amongst the porters with their boxes of fish. The Royal Hotel is in the background and the Dover Castle Hotel joined on to it. See: http://www.dover-kent.com/Dover-Castle-Hotel.html
Clarence Quay can be seen at the top of this photo with two cargoships alongside and the Lord Warden Hotel in the background, joined to the Town Station by a passenger walkway.
Two of the cargoships of the Southern Railway can be seen alongside Clarence Quay with the Continental Goods Shed in the background. Clarence Quay and the adjoining South Pier were leased to the Southern Railway.
Clarence Quay today is the site of the Tug Haven. The two harbour tugs DHB Dauntless and DHB Doughty are seen here with the DHB dredger David Church, together with the lifeboat and range safety boats in the foreground. Cruise Terminal 1 (the old Marine Station) and Lord Warden House form the background. As can be seen, the whole of the area has been concreted over to provide hardstanding for trucks, a far cry from the bustling scene in the earlier tram photo. In the unlikely event that Terminal 2 ever sees the light of day, this entire area of docks will be filled in and become another barren waste of tarmac parking serving the new ferry berths.

excellent set of pics there. - 18 January 2011 14:3989397The description of the Hydraulic lifts in the Clarence Hotel is enlightening, maybe in this green thinking age it might be a good idea to incorporate the system into new hotels, slow probably but saving electricity in the long run, a bit quirky too
