Footprints made by dinosaurs who roamed the planet more than 100 million years ago have been discovered... in Folkestone.

Historian Philip Hadland, from the Beaney Art Museum and Library in Canterbury, made the discovery on the beach at Wear Bay.

Now Mr Hadland will reveal more details in a talk at the Turner Contemporary in Margate on Saturday from noon.

He said: "I never expected to find evidence of dinosaurs living in Folkestone, but these footprints revealed that they wandered an ancient shoreline here."

The footprints, preserved by being fossilised in stone, were made by animals that roamed the planet more 100 million years ago. They were deposited on the tidal shorelines.

They reveal large and possibly flightless birds roamed on the shores, as do modern seabirds, but then alongside other dinosaurs.

Mr Hadland's Coastal Dinosaurs talk is during the Turner's Fossil Week, ending on Sunday.

The cost to attend the talk is £6, or £5 concessions, and allows admittance to the centre's Fossil Fair that day. Booking is needed via www.turnercontemporary.org.
