The building is Wrens Cross, HQ of Kent Police from 1857 to 1940, situated at the bottom of Stone Street (old paved Roman Road) and knight rider street.

At the start of Upper Stone Street near a complex named Wren's Cross?  The building at the front is much changed but the building in the background looks similar.

Definitely on the right “track” on Stone Street, wrong building.


It is very clear on GSV.

I'm thinking perhaps Stone Street then.  Not available on GSV but the Stone Street Club has similar windows ?

Not King Street, wrong road.


The name of the road has a hint as to its origins.


Police connection is correct.

Is it the building that is now Morlings Solicitors in King Street?


Possibly a previous police station going by your social history clue.
