Coolinge LaneCharacter AreaIncludingSt Stephen's Way andEversley WayUntil the middle of the nineteenth century,Coolinge Lane was a narrow rural trackrunning from Martello Tower no.5 at thesouthern end to Coolinge Farm with itsassociated buildings at the other. Thecoming of the railway to Folkestone led tobuilding at the northern end of the Lanewhich today lies just outside SandgateParish in the vicinity of Folkestone Westrailway station, while by 1914 five privateschools had moved into purpose builtbuildings with spacious grounds at theSandgate Hill end of Coolinge Lane. Thesebuildings were all acquired by Kent CountyCouncil after the Second World War anddominated the Lane for the greater part ofthe 20 th Century.The parish boundary runs along the Lanewith the west side, as far north as RomneyAvenue. This area is still characterisedby fine early twentieth century detachedproperties with close links to educationaluses including Coolinge Lodge, StChristophers, Swanscombe and Red Hayand by large attractive school buildingsincluding St Stephens (1892) and PenfoldHouse (1904) which along with the MartelloTower are on the site of the FolkestoneSchool for Girls. This side of the road ischaracterised by properties adjacent to thelane but with large open areas and playingfields behind. Sadly “Clewer”, formerlya beautiful Edwardian school buildingand its neighbour, “White Lodge” havebeen demolished and currently fourteensomewhat unremarkable executive typehouses are being erected on this site.Sandgate Primary school is located here,a fairly typical 1972 single storey, flatroofed, school building with associatedplaying fields. Eversley College, formerlya KCC school, with extensive groundsfronting the Lane was acquired by LandcapDevelopment and Quinn Estates Ltd andredevelopment is to be expected.18
