Chilham, Street End.  Some views show the Building covered for restoration work.

I know that view only too well, so I’ll keep quiet.


Me too, so it wouldn't be a guess.  I'll hold back.

From Kent Messenger Online: "A shopkeeper is preparing to wrap up her business and blames “dire footfall” in the town for the store's demise after 155 years." so possible not a chemist?

Well done Grandarog.


Again this was a clue on a Faversham treasure trail around the town.


Over to you.

I see that the shop is described as "Mock Tudor" and the brickwork above is at least double thickness.  It's a Victorian building, so where they nabbed the gargoyles and shields from is anyone's guess.
