Herne Bay is a seaside town in Kent, South East England, with a population of 35,000. On the south coast of the Thames Estuary, it is 7 miles (11 km) north of Canterbury and 1 mile (2 km) east of Whitstable. It neighbours the ancient villages of Herne and Reculver and is part of the City of Canterbury local government district. Until 1978, the town had the second-longest pier in the United Kingdom.

This shop used to be Swain's bakery shop, the space above the corner door used to have the word SWAIN printed there and on the Charles street side the words painted between the roof and the top of the window "Swain Baker". The shop was according to "A picture book of Old Herne Bay" by Harold Gough "opened by Gaylor Swain from Sandwich in 1829. The business remained in the family until after the Second World War,..." The shop went from Gaylor to his son, William then grandson William to his great grandson, Roy Swain.
Roy was my wife's grandad,Roy son John Swain used deliver the goods to locals. I never really knew the history thanks.
Is there any photos when it was a bakery
