Recognising Tonbridge

Do you recognise where this decorative Victorian canopy is in Tonbridge High Street
Hundreds of people walk below it every day.
You just have to look up.
Any ideas?

  1. Would this be the bank on the corner of Bank Street? It's the only place I can think of where there's a tree..

  2. Yes, this is the canopy above the entrance to the Nat West Bank on the corner of Bank Street and the High Street. The flutings of the scallop shell canopy are decorated with stylised leaves and opening tendrils which was common on entrance canopies of the late 19th and early 20th century.
