It was rebuilt in facsimile after Second World War damage and only the ground floor is original. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-441196-8-st-margaret-s-street-kent A board on the end wall, between the first and second floors, indicates that it was once The Slatters Hotel. The building was not occupied. Beyond number 8 are numbers 5-7. Number 7 is a grade II listed building dating from the early 17th century or later with a 19th century shop front with narrow panelled risers http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-441195-7-st-margaret-s-street-kent The ground floor is hidden by hoarding, while there is a odd-looking wooden scaffold rising to the apex of the roof, possibly to stop the building falling into the street. The building was not occupied. Numbers 5 & 6 are grade II listed buildings dating from the 17th century with 19th century shop fronts http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-441194-5-and-6-st-margaret-s-street-kent
