More about this scene
Looking up a half-deserted High Street on a sunny day. The 'island' block with Bank Street on the right is clearly visible. Numbers 93, 94 and 95 High Street, on the Bank Street side, date from about 1855, an early example of an iron-framed building.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I remember there being an Ashby's in Tonbridge Road down the road from the old trolley bus depot. My grandfather worked there as a cashier.
Ashby's was a grocery business started by Stephen Ashby in the 1920s. It was then run by his son Aubrey Ashby until the late 1950s when it was sold.
