Historic Standard Quay is one of Faversham's hidden jewels. Sitting alongside the Creek at the far end of Abbey Street, Standard Quay offers visitors creek side walking, shopping, eating and a chance see Faversham's living history. Standard Quay is home for several classic ships and boats including barges such as Cambria and Greta as well as traditional fishing boats, classic tugs and overnight moorings of all sorts. One of Standard Quay's classic 'barn' buildings, that dates back to the seventeen hundreds, is the temporary home of the Cambria Thames Barge Exhibition. Housed in Standard Quay’s Monks Granary, Old English Tools is an opportunity to see how cabinet making, farming, metal work and carpentry used (and sometimes still is) to be done. You can buy just about every type of tools there; Vintage Bench Planes, Chisels, Axes, Bill Hooks, Froes, Side Axes and Draw Shaves as well as other curiosities such as the stuffed birds creating the Hitchcockian shadows here!
