~ BUTCHERY LANE ~
ANGEL LANE
CANTERBURY
St. Andrews
Most of the buildings on the right hand
side were damaged in the bombing of WW2
A wonderful photo of Butchery Lane
from 1907 decorated for Cricket Week. All the beautiful oriental paper
lanterns with all different patterns and the gorgeous stone work on
the building on the right which was No. 29 St. George's Street, Lloyds
Bank, before it was bombed in the blitz. Also the Chemist (Robert
Croft c. 1902-17) on the right (on Parade). There is also a gentleman
in the doorway of the butchers which I believe is Mr. Henry Cornes.

...and on the corner of Butchery Lane, was
the corn market, with a granary over it. But the whole of these premises
have undergone and entire change. In 1800, the site of, and the store
room over, the corn market, were sold by the corporation to Mr. Henry
Tritton, who the following year, took down the building, and erected
three dwelling houses upon the spot.

1896 - At the Canterbury Quarter Sessions,
two young men named Richards and Cork, were indicted of stealing a
large quantity of corrugated iron and wire netting, the property of
their employers, Messrs. Court Bros., and Reuben Nye and Harry Baldock
were also indicated of feloniously receiving the same. The case created
considerable public interest, as it appeared that the depredations
had been going on for a long time. For the defence it was contended
that the supervision over the warehouse department had been exceedingly
lax. Richards was imprisoned for four months and Cork for three months,
the other prisoners being acquitted by the jury.
