CANTERBURY

___

A special thank you to Maggie Francis for the photographs above. The lovely bracelet belonged to her great aunt Mollie RALPH (nee Driscoll) from Dover. It was likely a gift to her from her husband Raymond. In Dover, prior to the Second World War, Raymond was a butcher down in Snargate Street. He provided meat to the boats using the port of Dover at the time (which he stored to keep cool, in the caves at the back of Snargate Street).
