This very old (cast iron?) street sign is attached, high up, to the east face of the cottage at 178 Folkestone Road Dover, shown in the previous picture (with note). The present day road is named Elms Vale Road. 200_3_P1090176E

On a very gloomy December day, sight of this beautiful Grade II listed shelter in Dover lifted my spirits. Located at the confluence of Folkestone Road and Elms Vale Road (formerly Elms Road, see note), it once served Dover Corporation Tramways which closed as long ago as 1936 and was subsequently a bus shelter. The roads in this location have been remodelled and the shelter is no longer convenient for the present day bus top which is a few metres uphill on Folkestone Road (left). The shelter is succinctly described on the excellent website linked below. thebeautyoftransport.com/2014/02/19/iron-ladies-cast-iron... 200_3_P1090173E
