Thanks Shoot999

Great photo btw.    It was the width of the river that gave me a pointer.

By the main bridge in Maidstone?




Dad, myself and sister in the late 50s. I tried to crop as much as possible, even though the view has changed a  lot since then.  Well done John.  :) [size=78%] [/size]

Thank you KeithG. Our parents were friends with the wider family and neighbours when we lived in Gillingham during the 50s.


On to the next one.

Yes, shoot999 you have it...


My favourite Cinema  "The Grand" now gone was on the same street and was my haunt in the mid fifties.


Over to you again....

Now to search.   :D


The building made me think of Sittingbourne or Gillingham - I plumped for Gillingham.

Thank you shoot999,


You can just see "Murdoch`s Of Oxford Street" on the left of the picture and i use to go there for my vinyl records in around 1961/2.......the record counter was high and had about
6 or 7 record decks on top with the open sound cubicles behind with headphones to hear your chosen record.
