The historic architectural fabric of Tenterden, Kent, is captured in this authentic 1970s colour photograph from 1978. The archival image focuses on 17 High Street, a striking Grade II listed timber-framed building characterized by its black-and-white vertical studding and a weathered clay-tiled roof with a single dormer window. At ground level, the property is occupied by two local businesses: “The Spinning Wheel” restaurant and “The Fashion Loft” boutique, the latter displaying “Sale” signs in its windows. To the left, the modern contrast of a red brick building is visible, while to the right, a white-fronted “Used Cars” business sits adjacent. A yellow “Police – No Parking” bollard is positioned on the pavement in front of the central white door. This factual record documents the commercial life of Tenterden’s High Street in 1978, showcasing the preservation of medieval building techniques within a functional 20th-century town centre.
