The green sign points towards the freedom beach

Which today is grey gold and quite bleak

Trains no longer call at this harbour station

Nor do the pleasure steamers dock nearby

Yet this station does not sleep in its past

As it has been given a further lease of life

By those who have visions of the future plus blue

Folkestone Harbour railway station has in the last few years been preserved and hosts markets and other events on a frequent basis

This short poem was written on this station on the 28th of April 2021
