The old building at 16:23 was where I used to go into when I was a kid with my mum when we went to the High Street to get shopping, at that time it was where we used to go to pay for our coal delivery, and even then I was fascinated by how small it was inside with low ceilings. The police station I once had to go into to do a "producer" as they needed to see my driving licence, I cannot recall why though! Great work, thanks for this glimpse into my past!

I was born here in 1961 and we left in 1972. Fond memories of fishing for Sticklebacks in the River Cray.

I lived in St Paul's Cray until a few years ago and I actually thought that police station was still in use. Certainly there was often police cars in the area, I guess they just liked to hang out there!

Not Kent. South East London, it's in the London Borough of Bromley
