Being as I am a kentish lass, I need some kind persons help to understand what Dollman street looked like in the old days. My grandparents both lived on the street one at number 40 and the other at 26 in the very early 1900's when they were children, unfortunalty time has passed and I do not have the option to ask them questions such as what was the name of the local school you would have attended, what was the name of the local parishes? If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
 
My grand parents lived at 2 Back 104 Dollman Street in 1971.

If anyone as any old photo's of those roads or the areas then please let me know! :)

Would love to see where they lived etc and learn more about the area.
