  thought there would have been more comments on the east kent part of the guide with all the keen local historians on here.

  All pretty standard stuff - take a look at Google Books there are all sorts of guides available on there, I quite like the Bachelor
  one, which I believe was from Batchellors Library which I am sure was above the site of the Townwall Street underpass
