You have it JohnFilmer.  The office for St Mildred's Tannery.  Not sure why it's now been re-named The Old Rectory.  Perhaps it was previously the rectory for the nearby St Mildred's Church. 


The whole of Canterbury would share the rather unpleasant aroma from the tannery right through to the 70s.  My father worked there after the war.  I always knew when he had arrived home.  The aroma must have got into his skin.  I didn't bother me though.  It was just Dad.  It was good when he later got a job at Lucas CAV  in Rochester.  He didn't smell of dead cows anymore.


The whole area of the tannery is now residential.

It looks as though the office for Connolly Leather has morphed into The Old Rectory, just off Stour Street. "Interesting" brick courses!

The business that is was the office for closed some years back.  The business had been in existence for around 200 years.

I don`t know how you do it, JW !!


My Mum and Dad were married there and I was christened there.


Over to you.


I don't get out much  ;D ;D ;D .   I must admit that I really enjoy the hunt and learn quite a bit along the way.  It was the only church I could find in Sittingbourne that didn't look ancient.


Next one.  Can be seen on GSV.
