A building on Wincheap Street, Canterbury, near the junction St Jacob’s Place, had been adopted as a fortified house by November 1940. This was fortified house No. 35 in a list of such structures made 2 December 1940. Nothing is certainly known of the wartime arrangements. It seems unlikely that fire would have been directed down St Jacob’s Place; much more likely it covered Wincheap Street - perhaps making use of the angle of fire provided by the gap in the houses on the south side of the street.
