I couple of years ago I went on a hunt to find Kent’s Sound Mirrors. I had seen an album cover of the new Turin Brakes album that was out “Ether Song”, the cover art features a picture of the band members sitting in front of a Sound Mirror. Being curious I searched Sound Mirror on the internet a came across Andrew Grantham’s Website. He has one of the best Sound Mirror sites on the internet with information about Sound Mirrors all over the world and some pictures of them as well. I found information on where the Folkstone and Hythe Sound Mirrors are, but was struggling to get information on the location of the Three Denge Sounds Mirrors. After a couple of email chats with Andrew I had the locations, and so the quest began.

On 18th April 2003 I set out with friends of mine, Faye and Mike on a mission to visit Folkstone, Hythe and Denge Sound Mirrors (in that order). It was a great day out that just got better and better as the locations we visited became more impressive. The highlight of my day was capturing many good pictures of the Sound Mirrors that are on the Kent coast. I have recently read that the Denge Sound Mirrors no longer have public access, this prompted me to write this short piece and display some pictures so that all can now enjoy what I have been able to see. These really are impressive feats of engineering and visiting them made for a great day out!
