Gateway Flats, Dover old postcard late 1950s

Minimal vehicle content, but I like this card and I was inspired to upload it tonight after Glen added a photo taken just before construction of the new flats on Dover Promenade.

 

Here is Glen's image: flic.kr/p/2ihbroS

 

And an excellent history of the development here: doverhistorian.com/2014/10/04/gateway-flats/

 

2019 Streetview image shows that some of the original hard landscaping is still present (although probably not the fountain), and the flats themselves don't look too different today: goo.gl/maps/GRG1QbKMsUYxf3qr7

 

It looks like 3-bedroom flats with a seaview go for up to £280,000.

 

Unsent card published by Valentine & Sons, ref. M3839.
