The view shows a ghost sign on the side wall of number 67 (whose post code is CT3 2 EN). The words on the sign are indecipherable but I was able to compare the address from an old street directory (published by Yellow Pages) with one on the same page, which showed that this was once Church Gates Bakery. Here is a description of the premises (although the name of the road is incorrect). Church Gates Bakery: this bakery on Ash High Street was owned for years by the Solly/Solley/Coleman family. It was then leased to Alexander Clark from 1922 to 1936. After that it was sold to a Mrs Hollaway https://www.curiousfox.com/vill100/Kent11296_1.html
