“I remember thinking at the time it was quite modern, but it’s actually quite ghastly…”
Scott Wishart

Tonbridge Station - 1985

The nerve centre of the town, modern Tonbridge has grown up around the station since it was initially built in Victorian times. Once a handsome brick structure, there have been a few facelifts since it was re-built in 1958. Scott Wishart and Anne Clement talk to James Pavlou about their memories of this beige incarnation that was all the rage back in the mid 80’s.
