IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Tannery Way North, CANTERBURY, CT1 2FH

It appears that the apartments on both sides of the road, which are part of the St Mildred’s Tannery development, may be undergoing external renovation.

A whole new neighbourhood has been created to the west of the city centre between the Great Stour and the by-pass. A lot of design variation and a non linear street plan has been used to avoid a "new estate" look.

Recently completed homes constructed by Bellway Homes.

The house had an air of neglect about it, as the hanging baskets either side of the front door contained dead plants and there were further dead plants in pots on the pavement below.

Greyfriars Garden, beside the Great Stour, at the heart of the busy city of Canterbury, is the oldest Franciscan site in the UK, where the first Franciscans to come to this country arrived in 1224. Greyfriars Chapel, which may once have been the friary guest house, is all that is left of the 13th century friary.

This is a development of 6 houses, 3 duplexes and 1 penthouse being built by TG Designer Homes http://tgdesignerhomes.com/city/ In my photograph of Image, the entrance to the mews is the gap between St Mildred’s Tannery and the houses to its right.

Compared with Image, photographed in August 2014, the building in the foreground now almost obscures that behind it.

A more ring-like bit of a Canterbury ring road system. Some maps label this stretch as the A290.

The rest has been demolished to make way for the development known as The Old Tannery which extends to Rheims Way. Planning permission has been granted by Canterbury City Council under application number CA//04/00012 for the “demolition of buildings in connection with redevelopment to provide 444 houses and flats, 283 off-street car parking spaces, 64 bed hotel, 4 retail units (A1), 1 wine bar/restaurant (A3), 3 live/work units, 2 pedestrian bridges, public park and riverside walk”. The site has been occupied by the tannery since the 18th century.
