    I moved to Dover from Canterbury to set up my first home some 36 years ago. I can't think of anywhere I would rather live.

    That was a joy to watch. It's so nice to see the Dover of my parents era and how it started on the path to rebuilding after the war. Thanks for sharing.

    I grew up on Buckland estate, we moved into a brand new house in Florida close in 1968. Back then most of the prefabs were still there, and still occupied. The last of the prefabs in our area has gone by around 1971,but for a few years they were our playground.

    Photographed by Wolfgang Suschitzky who photographed "Ring of bright water" (1969) and "Get Carter" (1971) amongst other work. He is also father of cinematographer Peter Suschitzky who did "Rocky Horror picture show" (1975) and "The Empire strikes back" (1980) amongst many more.

    The last of those prefabs were knocked down in 1993.

    @ 5:12 Thank you, the tragedy or lack of vision was to think that port traffic was not going to increase in the post-WW2 era which made redundant that plan. Now you have the A20 separating the city centre from the seafront. Absolutely horrible.

    I suppose this film was made for those who were here during the war from the US. This was also a time when major town planning was in progress. I can remember Southampton and Portsmouth in the 1970 still had bombed out areas which were used as car parking in these cities.

    Thank God the postwar developers didn't entirely get their way, even if they did succeed in doing an immense amount of damage in the name of reconstruction.
