In this publication, Alex Pavitt, who was born and brought up in College Road, remembers the old Northfleet High Street as it existed during his childhood in the 1940's and '50's. He takes us on a nostalgic stroll around the old shops as they were before redevelopment in the mid-1960's changed the whole character of the area and recalls with affection some of the local traders who gave the old High Street its distinctive atmosphere. Illustrated with his own photographs, it is a nostalgic and fascinating read for anyone who lived in or knew the area as it once was. A 'bonus section' of photographs shows the demolition and rebuilding of Huggens College which also took place during the 1960's. |
