Gravesend: Victoria Centre
A well-connected building in Gravesend...the Victoria Centre may or may not have been named for the queen of that name; there is a statue of her yards to the left of the buidling. And the name Darnley is associated with all sorts, including Mary Queen of Scots...and Lennox Road nearby...
There are not a lot of famous people associated with Gravesend: Pocahontas, of course, who died here, but since, not a lot. However, Peter Blake, who, with his then wife Jann Haworth, designed the cover for Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, although born in Dartford, studied in Gravesend and in this building.
The Victoria Centre is no longer an adult education centre, having been sold at auction recently - its guide price was £400,000.00 and it went for just over £1.5 million. Flats ? Who knows...
