Coin Op Talking Telescope (West) - The Esplanade , Dover Kent. - Coin-Op Binoculars on Waymarking.com

In November 2010, The Esplanade along Dover's seafront was given a huge makeover with the Three Waves Project. This coin operated 'talking telescope', one of two along this part of The Esplanade, is sited at the Western end of project, approximately 250m from the one sited to the East.

Designed by architect Tonkin Liu the project is in the form of 3 waves. The Lifting Wave walkway is a made up from a series of pre formed sculptured ramps and stairs that rise and fall along the Esplanade between the new Water Sports Centre and a tunnel under the busy A20 dual carriageway,  linking the seafront area with the town centre. Beside the Lifting Wave walkway is the Resting Wave, a sculptured retaining wall providing sheltered spaces along the Esplanade with seating. The 3rd Wave is Lighting Wave. A line of tall, white columns with lighting that can be controlled to create a wave movement along the length of the Esplanade.
