Thank you KeithG. Our parents were friends with the wider family and neighbours when we lived in Gillingham during the 50s.

My favourite Cinema  "The Grand" now gone was on the same street and was my haunt in the mid fifties.

The building made me think of Sittingbourne or Gillingham - I plumped for Gillingham.

Thank you shoot999,


You can just see "Murdoch`s Of Oxford Street" on the left of the picture and i use to go there for my vinyl records in around 1961/2.......the record counter was high and had about
6 or 7 record decks on top with the open sound cubicles behind with headphones to hear your chosen record.
