this website is to inform Elvington's community and keep everyone in touch regarding whats going on in this former coal mining
village.
LOCATION
ELVINGTON is located some 6 miles North-East of Dover, located both off
the A256 and A2 main roads between Dover - Sandwich, and Dover - Canterbury respectively. The village was built in the early
20th Century as a home for coal miners and their families working at the nearby Tilmanstone Colliery.
Located in an area of beautiful countryside and with a rich history, Elvington
is in an ideal place for future regeneration of which is already happening. This website wants to be a part of that by keeping
locals, former residents and visitors informed about this East Kent village.
