Maidstone I remember it well:
Miss Edwardes ran and owned Highfield House and Chris you are so right " a no nonsense " lovely lady who we all respected so much. I was a regular Thursday visitor and remember feeling quite brave late one evening and called her by her christian name, Julie....the special look she gave still haunts me 40 odd years on.

Do you remember crossing the High Level Bridge and having a beer or some at The London Tavern when Reg was the landlord, then Ken Grover and Sheila. When " Duffey " ran the saloon bar and Tom Record ran the lounge, always manning a brace of half pint tankards one on each end of the bar, always half full of best bitter. His ample girth and bushy moustache were majestic....I ultimately grew my own but I could never drink out of half pint tankards

Come back Miss Edwardes and Highfield House Maidstone needs you!!
