My late mother-in-law, a lovely lady, had the misfortune of living directly opposite the Dover Bargain Centre and having this festering ruin disfiguring her view for very many years before action was taken and new owners transformed it into the Paint & Decor Centre. This was the view from her window.
Prior to the horror of the Dover Bargain Centre years, it was George Thomas hardware shop, redolent with the aromas of yesteryear. The shop front is preserved at Dover Transport Museum.
