Old Midland Bank, High Street, Rainham Kent

Midland Bank was originally located on the A2 opposite Maidstone Road and next to Hidsons car dealership. This photo was taken in the early 1970s, probably around 1972 based on the cars in the Hidsons showroom that were selling Humber & Hillman cars at the time.

The Midland Bank site building was demolished in the early 1990s and the Hidsons site extended. Midland Bank then moved to the precinct but that branch was closed in 2013.

This is the same location in 2014

Little Crown Pub Chatham

It's slightly out of area but when I was walking today I noticed the Little Crown pub in Chatham High Street which had a sign showing 1892. I wonder if it has been covered up previously as I don't recall spotting it before. The pub appears long closed but hopefully the building will be restored. Little Crown Pub Chatham
