High Street is the main thoroughfare of the English market town of Cranbrook, Kent.[1] It runs for 0.62 miles (1.00 km), from a merging of Carriers Road and Stone Street in the east to Hartley Road (the A229) in the west.[2] Many of its buildings date to the late-medieval period, with over fifty of them now being listed.[3]
A market has been held in High Street since 1290, when Archbishop Peckham granted the town a charter.[4]
Notable buildings on the northern side of High Street include:[5]
- The Pharmacy and Pharmacy Cottage. The cottage was once part of a range of buildings that have since been demolished
- Chilworth, dating to the 19th century
Artists Frederick Daniel Hardy and Thomas Webster formerly owned a studio on High Street.[2]
