New FLGS, Rochester, Kent


Our new FLGS in the Medway Towns on Watling Street where it runs through the old Roman City of Rochester. Watling Street is the Roman Road from Canterbury to Chester that crosses the Medway at Rochester. It was built over the Celtic Road, one of the oldest stone built roads in the world.

Next door is one of the imposing Rochester buildings used by Dickens in his stories. The wooden gazebo (chalet) partially obscured centre left belonged to Dickens and was used as a study for writing.

    Someday I'd like to visit your part of the world and I'd like you to be my tour guide. I'll happily pay you in ale.

    Brrr.. The only thing i cannot stand is warm beer. It have to be cold even if the winter is coming. We tested it.
    But the new FLGS looks great.

    Dear Igi
    Ale is served at room temperature.
    Freezing it spoils the flavour,

    I visited this shop a couple of weeks ago. Nice selection of products and an excellent location on the high street, right next to a car park. I hope it thrives and survives.
