A few seriously historic buildings not far away.

An important landmark was just out of shot, later removed - photo taken 1939.

The distinctive windows of the building far left can be seen on GSV.

Apologies, but needed, as ever, to get to the laptop to deal with photos, and now we have an unexpected visitor about to arrive, so I've quickly grabbed an old family pic - but where was it taken?

You have it JohnFilmer.

I've walked past the stairway numerous times and never noticed it until recently.  In fact, there are another two further down the road.

As MartinR previously suggested - the stairway allowed access to the homes above the shops (but not at the Pantiles).  I presume there are other access routes to enable furniture etc to be taken in and out of the homes.

Over to you ...

Your thinking is spot on but not the Pantiles.

In that case I assume it will be in the Pantiles, leading to the houses above the shops?  I'll virtually explore there later when I've a bit of time to waste!

Tunbridge Wells: High Brooms (bit iffy, not really TW), Tunbridge Wells and Spa Valley Railway?
Hastings: West St Leonards, St Leonards Warrior Square and Hasting?
Sevenoaks: Central, Bat & Ball and Dunton Green (also a bit iffy)?

Other than those I'm fresh out of towns.

Folkstone west, central and Eurotunnel?

A few with two stations:
Tonbridge BR & Tonbridge MES
Canterbury east & west
Tenterden: BR & KESR

Not those either = not many left.  :)
