Liquid Gold: The River Dour at The Park Inn, Dover, Kent, UK

John Latter, on October 25, said:

The Park Inn at 1-2 Park Place, Ladywell, Dover, Kent, UK, overhangs the River Dour on its southern side and this beautiful autumn scene was taken by simply leaning out of a side window and pointing my camera upstream.

I had to make a conscious effort, however, not to become so engrossed in taking the photo that I forgot how gravity works (and I've done that before!).

Part of the white wall surrounding The Park Inn rear area can be seen just above centre on the right-hand edge of the image.

In terms of the River Dour photos currently available on this website, the river flows down from the Weir near Bridge Street, goes under the road (behind the viewer), then emerges alongside Ladywell Carpark where the "The Pigeon who thinks It`s an Eagle" photo was taken (from there it goes on to Pencester Gardens, etc.)

The Park Inn is a very popular inn with both locals (including me!) and tourists. The caption to the main Park Inn photo begins:

This Victorian public house has a restaurant and accomodation that ranges from single to double-rooms, one of which contains a four-poster bed. It serves real ales and there is entertainment on every Friday and Saturday night, quite often on a Sunday, too, [in the winter] a pub quiz team plays on Thursdays.
