I didn’t think it would be possible to stumble upon a derelict station untouched by graffiti and looking like something just closed by Beeching in the 60s, but as disused stations go, Folkestone Harbour is a beaut!
The signal box is still there in immaculate condition, the canopies have lost their glass, there’s a weighing machine without an arm, there’s still one pair of heavily rusted tracks running into the station and there’s even a signal pointlessly stuck on red after the track has been lifted.
