Did it get rebuilt as The Empire (I think) ? I remember a seedy theatre about there in the 1950s, photos of scantily dressed ladies. Mum always  dragged me across the road just before it  ;)

Hi castle261,
 
I think you might be remembering Watt's Place which was nearby - it had a lamppost in the middle and lots of odd little shops. I have a photograph or two which I can upload that may jog some peoples memories. It's an interesting and forgotten part of old Chatham.

I remember Holborn Lane. A quaint lane with small shops, I remember a lamppost, in the middle
of the lane. There was a cafe, & all sort`s of shops, I liked it-- I Do not like the `used car` lots in
Medway Street, soon to be swallowed up, in the new development, I hope.
I do not remember the fire in 1934 at Barnard`s, when I would have been seven.
