  In those days Marek Burlington House was occupied by a bank and Customs and Excise .P.O had an office on the site also a busy petrol Station .
  The bus garage occupied a huge chunk of that site .The St James car park was in full use then .
  Back in the seventies you had more people working at the docks ,people employed by the Hovercraft company .We were a garrison town .Wonderful shops that sold good quality clothes .Officers wives supported these .Over the years these factors have gone nothing to do with DDC /
  The market saw off the Hovercraft industry ,Government moved the army away and jobs were also lost at the port .
  Dover engineering company closed .The Mines closed .Shall I continue .
  
  THe work force has been ripped out of our district .Those with qualifications not all I hasten to add have moved away .For work .
  Recently Barwicks a well known Building firm closed its doors .So the list goes on even our newspaper offices upd sticks .
