If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My father worked at the Star Hotel and has some wonderful stories but as much as I try I can't seem to find any photographs of the hotel . In the 1970s, I myself went to a few discos held there, so I vaguely remember the steps up to the main door and the big hall downstairs - but being a teen I was interested in the music and boys not really in the venue. Any photos and or memories of the Royal Star Hotel would be wonderful.
This isn't my memory, I want to know if anybody remembers my uncle Jack. He died in Maidstone hospital in 1985 aged 74 (I didn't know of him then) he was described as a retired newsvendor, so, I was wondering if anybody remembers him. I know that newsvendors can be quite characters so if you think you remember Jack I would be very interested to know. He was born in Texas and was about 7 when the family returned to the UK, so he may have had an unusual accent.
