1594-1619 Sir George Newman, Commissary General of the City and Diocese of Canterbury lived in a house opposite St Margarets church in St Margarets Street, and despite all that subsequently happened to it, the house was still referred to in the nineteenth century as the house late of Sir George Newman. It was a large house with a very large garden possibly stretching as far as Rose Lane. Subsequently it was numbered 10 St Margarets Street. In 1806 the house was bought by Richard Herve Giraud* who divided it into three. Eight years later the property was assigned to a London banker, George Dorset. His son pulled down the original house and built several cottages on the site of the house and garden. (CCA)

1838 - The Fish Market, Stands on the west side of St. Margaret Street, and was first erected in 1480 by the corporation, and enlarged in 1520. It was pulled down, and the present market built on the site. The style of the exterior is Grecian Doric, and it consists of a pediment supported by four fluted columns. The stalls in the interior are built of stone, and on the west side is a pump for the convenience of the market people.

"A little beyond this is our Fish market, (re-built in 1822) near enough to the sea to be served with fish, from Folkstone and other places on our coast, in a few hours after they are landed." WG

Saturday, November 9th, This morning a fire was discovered in the house of Mr. THORNTON, St. Margaret's street, Canterbury; but very fortunately, by timely assistance, it was extiguished without much damage. KR

"1750. Mr. Francis WHITFIELD, the lessee of the mayor and commonalty, builds assembly rooms at the corner of St. Margaret's Street, in this City." HT

John WHITFIELD in 1687, bequeathed twenty shillings per annum, arising from a house in St. Margaret Street, ten shillings of which to be distributed to the poor in bread, two shillings and sixpence to each of the clerks of the parish in which his two engines then stood, and five shillings to the churchwardens of St. Margaret's for keeping the said engines in repair. One of these engines he bequeathed to the town, and the other to the parish of St. Mary Magdalen. The former was given up to the Kent Fire Office, together with the twenty shillings before mentioned, which was to be employed as specified. 1838

"From Mercery Lane we cross High Street into St. Margaret's, the corner of which, on our right hand, has, perhaps, the largest and most elegant assembly-room, built by a private owner, in the whole kingdom.*"

*At the corner of St. Margaret's, under the assembly-room, is a public bank, and a few paces higher, opposite the corn-market, another. WG

1838 - The Assemby Rooms - These handsome and spacious rooms are situate in St. Margaret Street, adjoining Messrs. Halford and Co.'s bank. They are used for "Concerts, Balls, and Routs," and it is here that in the mellow month of August the belles and beaux of this part of Kent meet to celebrate the "County Balls." The City, too, is not backwards in this healthy recreation, but holds balls in the months of January and February.

"Mr. John BURGESS, who died September 11, in St. Margaret's-street, Canterbury, at the advanced age of 96, was, for many years, one of the choristers of the cathedral; but infirmity having rendered the task irksome, he retired some time since, upon a liberal bounty provided by the dean and chapter. He was also parish-clerk of Saint Mildred, and belonged to the society of ringers." MM

"The Fish Market was removed from High Street into Burgate, and again into High Street, but at length, about 1480, was fixed in St. Margaret's Street, where it now continues." FS
