| Description |
English: Folkestone Harbour station The station is to be refurbished by W W Martin, who issued a notice on 20 May 2016 that read: Our Special Projects Team have commenced the ‘Link Works - Phase A’ project together with our sister company WWM Civils for our client Folkestone Harbour (GP) Ltd. The works include refurbishments and alterations to afford public access to the former station and platform areas including the level crossing on South Quay, Signal Box, Harbour Masters House, Platforms 1, 2 and 3 and the Upper Harbour Arm. The artwork featuring the TR2335 : Rug People 2011 – the former Folkestone Harbour Station still survives the elements. The circular plaque opposite the artwork, has the following information: Paloma Varga Weisz (1966, Germany). ‘Rug People’ 2011. Bronze, carpet, wood. Carrying a group of five strange visitors, a carpet appears to have landed on the tracks, as if out of some unknown fairy tale or mirage. The work is inspired by the history of the now abandoned station, the refugee camps in Calais and Varga Weisz’s father’s fate of emigration Link Paloma Varga Wiesz was born in 1966 and is a contemporary artist living in Germany. She is best known for her sculptures and drawings Link At the end of the platform is an example of W W Martin’s refurbishment – the former signal box restored to its original condition. |
