More about this scene
The three-storey building of Boots the Chemist at Nos 15 and 16 Market Place is not as old as it seems. A quick look back at the 1890 view of the market place will show the building's original appearance; it was altered between 1909 and 1929 to give it that 'olde worlde charm' - the timber framing has only been applied to the surface of the walls. The plasterwork figures also date from the 20th century; they include the Kings and Queens associated with Kingston's history, and the town's coat of arms. The smaller building to the left dates from the 1570s.
