Barnards Palace of Varieties
snodlandmalc:
In the 1970's I worked at lyon's restuarant at 109,the staff changing room and storeroom was on a lower level accessed by a very old set of wooden stairs.I was told that this was part of the backstage area of an old music hall that once stood on the site.The back of the building definately looked a lot older and might be the only bit of Barnards still there.

Thanks Lyn, looking at it on google maps amazed to see the "105" street number has survived
Smiffy:
The Theatre Royal was sited practically opposite Barnard's.

The Empire was opposite Hammond Hill, where the Medway County Court is now.

Pete I think you will find the Empire was further along towards Rochester. Barnards was opposite Manor Road if I remember rightly .
