THanks for the memories ! I was born and bred in Deal, and remember many of the old stores, and particularly Divitos ice ceam parlour. Tony Divio was my cousin n law - he married my cousin Barbara Baley, daughter of Ted and Dorothy Bailey who owned Baileys the Butchers in King Street. All long gone now of course. I remember too the wrecks visible on the Goodwinsat the end of the war, and the US tanker that broke in half and burned for days,and the salvaged oil being loaded on tanker wagons at Walmer station, and another fire started by a US serviceman smoking I believe. I will watch your other videos with great interest!

We are staying 3 nights in The Old Sweetshop, 163a Beach Street, Deal, and have enjoyed exploring Deal. It is a pity so many shops, pubs and business premises have been converted in to Airbnb establishments. The town has sadly lost much of it’s heart, which must be more apparent over the winter months ☹️
Cavell's chocolate shop. My great grandparents were Cavell's! Im going to have to do some digging. I would love to know of there was a connection. I think one of the line of daughters married a Dawkins in the 1900's.

In fact I know one of your pictures contains a picture of 2 ladies, one being Catherine Cavell, possibly Dawkins at that point.
Walmer Nursery hasn’t changed a whole lot. Instantly recognisable
The picture screened is dated 1898, and looking at the nursery now its appearance is much the same, except its deterioated considerably
