Dowling Esq JP / Chairman of the Watch Committee / E. C. Byrne Town Clerk / T. G. Taylor Borough Engineer / This tablet was presented by / H. H. Marks Esq MP JP / Fire Bell'. The fire service has now moved elsewhere and this building is used as council offices.

Thanet District Council has granted permission under application number F/TH/13/0694 for the “change of use of building to provide eight 1-bed flats and three 2-bed flats, together with a roof extension for the second floor accommodation”. This side of the building is engraved with the words and number “established 1817 merchants”.
However this was superseded by the planning permission, which was granted by Thanet District Council under application number F/TH/17/0127 for the “erection of a 3-storey building containing 3 1-bed flats to side of 1 Archway Road following demolition of existing garage”.
