I have been corresponding with Roy Moore for some time now. He has been an invaluable contact at The Kent Photo Archive.
He has allowed me to use some archive images of Chatham from his own collection and some contemporary images of his too.
Here are a few of these –

It is said that this ‘Temperance’ establishment, built in 1877 providing accommodation and entertainment for Sailors and Soldiers, was built to help them avoid the ‘temptations’ available elsewhere in the Town.
