Sat in almost the same spot last year whilst my granddaughters went off exploring. So I'll pass on this one.

East from Gravesend, tidal but not coastal, seriously historic; are we in Rochester?

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.
