Shops on the corner of Market Street and Vernon Street. The sign Image on wall reads "Benevolent Buildings 1834" which suggests it was originally the offices of a Benevolent (Insurance) Society.

#193 Market Street is or has been the registered address for several companies including a firm called Canterbury University Graduate Services (See Guardian article http://www.theguardian.com/education/2003/sep/09/highereducation.administration2 from 2003). It would appear to have been an "accommodation address". #195 Market Street was recently home to signmakers PH Signs. ##197-199 Market Street was home to the Abbey Gallery. The business Abbey Picture Framing has now relocated to a unit on the Adamson Industrial Estate. All three premises are currently undergoing renovation.
