Thank you shoot999....when i worked for my friend Doug Skipper in his shop for 18 months rest from woodwork ...on Saturday lunchtime we used to go there and the food was quite good but then in the mid 70`s indoors not outside.
I seem to be myself like a camera as i knew that was a type of bakers shop behind the girl in fact it was called Topes then and they used to have not bread but all posh cakes in the windows. That also was an eating place but more like high teas?
Forgot to say that Doug`s Solicitor Colin Whyman lived up in Jaspers Gate...

Where do you think this was?

Well done KeithG.


You can see why I was a bit fierce with the cropping!   Seen so many pics from this viewpoint but hadn't come across this one before.


Over to you.

Crepe and Co. Used to be called The Precinct Pantry by Jasper's Gate.... the eating place... seems to be the only one with shutters?

Getting colder MartinR. And maybe don't give the High Street so much attention.

26 (Castlerock Wealth Management) - 28 (West barbers)?

[shoot999]

Not there MartinR.


Typical day trip to Rochester
1 Take a pic of the castle with the cannon in the foreground.
2 Take a pic of the Cathedral from half way up the castle.
3 Take a pic of GTP
4 Wander through the High Street.

George Vaults?

[shoot999]

Not there KeithG. But you are as close as John Walker.

Nos. 41/43 Haircut Chemistry shop?

Near Rochester Castle ?

Well that just effectively made my next clue redundant.

Near Rochester Castle ?

Was that a baker's shop behind the girl?

Not sure about that KeithG. But to my knowledge it has always been business premises. And although modernised the two properties in the foreground are pretty similar. Bigger windows I think.


A well known view; hence the picture is heavily cropped.

Thank you for that KeithG. I had narrowed it down to Medway pubs demolished by the 50s that used that particular brewery, with the Tartar Frigate being one of them. But I don't think I would have got any further without the art deco clue. The pub brickwork reminded me of a number of buildings along Chatham Intra and Featherstones was the only art deco building around there.
