Miracle Escape

I believe that yesterday a car driven by an elderly man mounted the pavement by the National Westminster Bank, Castle Street and crashed into the window of the barbers and the bank. As far as I know nobody was hurt which seems a miracle, and luckily the damage to the buildings was only minor. Thank goodness nobody was sitting on the bench as it is in rather bad shape.

Recognising Tonbridge Feature

The Neoclassical Pediment type feature crowns the highest point on the National Westminster Bank building on the corner of Castle Street, and the High Street, where the bank have had a branch since the 5 November 1923.  It's worth looking up when you're next passing.  Steve Abrahams and Peter Harris quickly located the spot.
