Recognising Tonbridge Recognised

I knew this would be an easy close up image to recognise.  It is one of the decorative brickwork arches on The Old Fire Station, Bank Street, built in 1902.

The first person to recognise the image was Shaun Jeffries who checks in on the blog all the way from Sweden.  He always tends to be one of the first to recognise a Recognising Tonbridge post, and so he should, as Shaun has great historical interest in his home town. He has written a detailed article on the history of the fire brigade in Tonbridge which contains some very interesting old photographs.If you wish to take a look you'll find it on http://tonbridgecollectables.com/page13.php

  1. On Shaun's site, take a look at the picture of the fire crews in the Crown Yard from 1883. Is that the oldest ever ghost sign in the background?!
