The Brit became a Kebab house about 30 years ago.  I preferred the White Hart or the Three Hats.  I lived just down the hill on the high street for about 10 years up to 1996.

The Old Court House in Milton, Sittingbourne.


I drew it in 1989, while waiting for the train home, after seeing my brother in a Milton hospital.


I cant do photo`s, so if I am right, I will let someone else, put up the next one.




I certainly missed that one!

The Old Courthouse was almost opposite "The Britannia" pub as it was called in the 1970`s and i almost used  it at every weekday lunchtime for around
8 to 10yrs going from my workplace on the Trinity Trading Estate.

Well done Castle261, it is indeed the Court Hall, Milton Regis.  The original was taken in 1956.
On behalf of Castle261, then here is the next starter.

Sorry, "Dad's Taxi Service" duty this morning.  Here's one for you, I'm interested in the middle building, which is still standing.

The map pointer put it between James St and Clover St but yes, Rhode St makes sense.  Bed time now, next picture will appear in the morning.

I will have to give it to you but you have the ends mixed up?


Although not a school it was a department of the same school run by William Giles and it was on the corner of Best Street and Rhode Street
and as you say the famous person was Charles Dickens.


It is now the large car park behind the High Street.


Over to you.......

Would it be the William Giles School at the corner of Clover Street and Best Street, Chatham?  The famous persons would then be Charles Dickens.
