Somehow my previous post got lost. Anyhow, following Beachbum's solution I spent quite some time going up and down (virtually) The Street and couldn't find the view. It's actually at the top of Taylor's Hill, Not at the end of The Street. Camera location:

Very distinctive, and I spent most Saturdays in 1969 helping to build the organ in the church opposite

I think I know this one - unless there are more than one this shape. I'll hold fire for now.

I know that view only too well, so I’ll keep quiet.
Me too, so it wouldn't be a guess. I'll hold back.

From Kent Messenger Online: "A shopkeeper is preparing to wrap up her business and blames “dire footfall” in the town for the store's demise after 155 years." so possible not a chemist?

Well done Grandarog.
Again this was a clue on a Faversham treasure trail around the town.
Over to you.

I see that the shop is described as "Mock Tudor" and the brickwork above is at least double thickness. It's a Victorian building, so where they nabbed the gargoyles and shields from is anyone's guess.
