Introduction
The present survey is the third phase of a process which began in the 1980s. The first survey dealt with the modern commercial centre of the town in the High Street and London Road from the Fountain at the south to Pembroke Road in the north. The second phase, based on photographs taken by John Kay in 1997, extended the coverage to include the Shambles and also updated some of the photographs where properties had changed hands and fascias had been altered. Notes on the architecture, history and ownership of the buildings have been prepared by members of the Society’s planning sub-committee, English Heritage listed buildings descriptions and a number of books on old Sevenoaks. The notes are intended to highlight salient points to supplement the photographs and as a starting point for further research.
The present survey has been extended to include the historic buildings in the Upper High Street, based on a new set of photographs taken by Russell Harper. Buildings have been shown as their original entities however subdivided or numbered later. During the next two years we will be once again revising the earlier parts of the survey to incorporate more recent changes and provide new photographs and additional information.
