The Folkestone Glacier



Mr & Mrs Ernest Peabody, of Tunbridge Wells dice with death by sitting at the head of the Folkestone Glacier.

Now, obviously, this isn't a real glacier, but it was the common name of a "White Cliffs" theme park attraction just outside Folkestone.  It saved decent people from the trouble of actually visiting the real White Cliffs, with its attendant drug addict problem.

The theme park closed in 1971, after the UK Decimalisation Crisis.

Bonus - Tom Waits
