Thanks Grandarog Great family post card. It looks like a few architectural changes have taken place since the photo. Now Miles and Barr, Dominos and the Smile Dental Centre.

Well that sort of implies either Milton Regis or Faversham, but I can't find a match in either place.

Not Tonbridge. A tad closer to Canterbury than Medway or Maidstone.

Well it's obviously a substantial settlement. The street appears to be descending significantly in the distance and there is a large tall building at the end. I'm pretty sure we can rule out any of the Medway Towns and I can't think of such a structure in Maidstone, so is it either Ashford or Canterbury?

I lived near the junction of Sir Evelyn Rd and Maidstone Rd for years and spent a lot of time with Borstal warders kids over the years. I never knew that was there either so it must have been inside the walls.

Hmm, about ¼ mile away as the crow flies and I didn't know it was there!
You must be near my old stamping ground. I lived corner of Tideway and Maidstone Road a lifetime ago.
