More about this scene
Pollarded lime trees line part of the High Street of this village, which can justifiably claim to be one of Kent's prettiest; it duly attracts hordes of visitors during the summer season. Set in the valley of the River Stour, its Tudor and Jacobean houses have been carefully maintained, and further up the street is the old Woolpack Inn.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My family used to live in a flat above a cobblers. I can remember using an old pram as a go-cart to ride down the high street. Those were the days. Ha Ha.
1st white house on left was the 2nd post office where I had to go every morning to collect and deliver all the Chilham newspapers around the village for the grand sum of £2 per week. Post master then was a Ken Parker, I had to finish by 8am to catch Herbi Arnold's school bus to get to Chartham Secondary School.
