Crepe and Co. Used to be called The Precinct Pantry by Jasper's Gate.... the eating place... seems to be the only one with shutters?

Getting colder MartinR. And maybe don't give the High Street so much attention.

26 (Castlerock Wealth Management) - 28 (West barbers)?

Not there MartinR.


Typical day trip to Rochester
1 Take a pic of the castle with the cannon in the foreground.
2 Take a pic of the Cathedral from half way up the castle.
3 Take a pic of GTP
4 Wander through the High Street.

George Vaults?

[shoot999]

Not there KeithG. But you are as close as John Walker.

Nos. 41/43 Haircut Chemistry shop?

Near Rochester Castle ?

Well that just effectively made my next clue redundant.

Near Rochester Castle ?

Was that a baker's shop behind the girl?

Not sure about that KeithG. But to my knowledge it has always been business premises. And although modernised the two properties in the foreground are pretty similar. Bigger windows I think.


A well known view; hence the picture is heavily cropped.

Thank you for that KeithG. I had narrowed it down to Medway pubs demolished by the 50s that used that particular brewery, with the Tartar Frigate being one of them. But I don't think I would have got any further without the art deco clue. The pub brickwork reminded me of a number of buildings along Chatham Intra and Featherstones was the only art deco building around there.


Next one.

[KeithG]

Well you certainly worked that one out shoot999?


The pubs name was The Tartar Frigate ......if i remember correctly this building of Featherstones was for the Gents Outfitters.


Spemco took it over for quite a while who are also on the New Road near where the sweeping corner can go down to the Cut.


Over to you then......

[shoot999]

The site of the Featherstones building in the High Street at Chatham Intra?  Now an arts centre.

[KeithG]

So where are the Art deco type of buildings of medium size in ME area?
