Dover for a day
« on: March 17, 2008, 11:36:13 AM »
This is a report, more than a question.. went to Dover on Saturday, walked along the cliffs, watched the ferries, had a nice time.. then drove into town to find a pub.

Maybe we found the bad part of town, but that was a mistake.  It was before 6pm, the streets were full of really drunk young people (we were only offered one fight, though)and dodgy-looking older folk(not sure if truly dodgy).  Most of the businesses were boarded up.  The shopping mall was permanently closed.  Nice burned out church near the pub we picked.   Where the food looked dismal and the beer was full of sediment.

What's up with Dover?  Where is the decent part of town?

Dover doesn't have the nicest reputation.

If you think about it in most places with a functioning port the area around the docks/port is a bit rough, well Dover's basically a large port with a small town attached, so...

That's East Kent for you! I've only been to Dover once and managed to find a decent enough cafe to eat in but I do remember a fair number of drunks around, and this was during the daytime.
