Tonbridge Daily Snippet

The Riverside Cafe owned by Phil Mandel, a roller skating rink with the reputation of being the best in West Kent, the ever busy Dousts Boathouse, The Star Cinema and The Medway Hall that was used for exhibitions and meetings during the day, and by night was transformed into a dance hall made Bradford Street the centre of Tonbridge entertainment at the turn of the 20th century.

It's hard to believe as Bradford Street is now simply an insignificant jumble of carparks and offices.
