Sorry shoot999 but Smiffy has it...


Yes it is where you say opposite the old cinema when it was there?... and you can see Naylar & Son Funeral Directors further along on the angle and just about the Red Lion Pub.


Don`t know what year but now compare with the second photo from 1948 and the end house and next but one have Tudor Style updates... I wonder why?


Over to you then Smiffy...

Think I've pinned it down, and you're right it is surprising. Opposite where the Gaumont cinema was in the High street. The entrance to the later Bourne & Hilliers milk depot would be just off to the left.

Are we looking somewhere other than the High Street. Rochester Maidstone Road?  The old bit. Crow Lane.

Strood? What was a Toilet Club? Seemingly run by Mr Mancettinci ?


Where you could have a bath, shave, haircut, etc. Before many had running water.

Not Strood Pete...
Not Luton Road Alec...
But Yes....it is Rochester Smiffy  :D

This is a clue:
Although i have the picture for a few years as i collect whatever to do with the Towns, this one i didn`t know where it was until i compared it with another which was taken many years later call it a type of older update?......similar to what they do with Fake Tudor Houses.
