Over the years there have been various speculations about whether there was really a mill at Pegwell Bay, this photo from around 1850 shows it
The first mention of it was in William Coles Finch first published in 1933, we don't have a copy in stock at the moment. Although visually of course the well known print in Shakespeare Ireland's dubious history of the county.

Shopping wise our quest for a narrow necked nylon string guitar goes on, County Music in Canterbury is we think the best of the local guitar shops, certainly the only one so far where we have got close.
Although not nylon first place to have the Baby and Big Baby Taylor

From my point of view as a shopkeeper I still really don't understand why there are still quite a few guitar shops trading. The other shops that really interest me, artist's materials, tools, cameras and bookshops are much more depleted.
Still shopping in Canterbury, there is an Independent Magazine Popup just opened

Great news that Newsstand has opened a shop in Canterbury. This long established family firm is based in Whitstable and operates an efficient on-line mail order operation which I have used for several years. Alas, you don't offer an address and I can't spot the location from your photos. Could you please tell us where? Thanks
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Chuck it's in the shop that was Kennedy's shoe shop in Sun Street opposite Pork & Co, I will make amendments
ReplyDeleteMany thanks.
