South side of Sittingbourne High Street
The bow window on the right belongs to the Kent Messenger (local newspaper) office. The pub next door is called The George and Dragon in this photo although from the Google streetview for May 2009 I see it was called The Entertainer. I have a vague recollection of it as The George (but that may have been elsewhere on the street).
Streetview also shows me that the next shop down has suffered a fire at some point which may explain the hole in the roof (which was what prompted me to take this photo).
The colonnaded entrance below it is Blundell's furniture store. I remember a time, not so long ago, when Mr Blundell had three shops on the High Street, the furniture store, a baby shop and a rather wonderful toy shop. I was hoping to visit the toy shop on this visit but sad to say it had closed down. Had I checked streetview first I'd have known this.
