#2188. It was the old YMCA Howard. I stayed there in 1971/72 when I first came to Dover, my room was extreme right with the two windows under the gable end. It mostly housed seaman who worked on the ferries before the shift system changed to week on/week off. There were also a few old pensioners and a few students staying there as well.
I believe it became a care home later, I don't know about now though. I know the lady who bought it but haven't seen her about for some time.
I went up market and moved to Victoria Park later

Beat me to it Peter.
I wonder if the planters will get some plants soon that will not be left to die like the last ones.

if terry is referring to the eatery that i am thinking of it always had a chalk blackboard detailing the delicacies within.
some came across as mouth watering but when they praised the virtues of "skate knobs" i thought it was time to draw the line and eat somewhere else.
