SANDWICH SKETCH

My family and I visited the town of Sandwich in County Kent about 20 miles north of the city of Dover. I loved this little city that is birth place of the famous lunch food. The building on the right is over 500 years old. Taxes were based on the footprint of the building so naturally designers took advantage of the air over the sidewalk and increased the floor area as they went up. The streets were two-way but passing another vehicle with pedestrians on the sidewalk and parking on one side was absolutely laughable.
