Tonbridge Daily Snippet

Between 1842 and 1868 and before Tonbridge Station occupied its present site, it was on a stretch of land between Vale Road and Priory Road.  This is the approximate area that is now used as car parking and the Saturday Market.

In my opinion the original site would now be a better place for a new town station with shops, and walkways linking the present Angel area.  It would also be ideal to incorporate a taxi rank, buses and ease the congestion, and heighten safety for school children and commuters, who wait for pick ups or public transport.

Obviously money is tight but it could be the solution to a very problematic area in Tonbridge.  What do you think?
