John Lawrence and Co Ltd? If so, you know its former general manager quite well

Going back to when it was built?
Perhaps the houses in Churchill Street extended to Granville Street and were shelled in WW2?

I think you are right, the Dover shelling map shows shells on both sides of Granville st.

Excellent news!
'DDC’s new Local Plan proposes that all new homes with parking provision on their land should include cabling to enable installation of a 7kW 32amp electric vehicle charging point.'

Pity DDC didn't have the wisdom to do that with fibre.

Just curious do Dover have any public charging points? This query is just in case I win the lottery and treat the family.

Charges from the railway maybe?

Bob, the price per KWh of those new chargers is 39p. The retail price is well under 20p. Apart from the chargers in St James’, they are the most expensive power in Kent. Even on the motorways you only pay 30p and in many towns the council provide free power (Warwick is an example). Cheapskate Dover triumphs again, as do their cosy suppliers.

Pablo, the excellent news I was referring to was that all new homes (with parking) should be built with charging points.
As for cost, Ubitricity (i.e.Siemens) is stuffing charging points into lamp-posts all across London and charging residents £7.99 monthly rate, 16.2p/kWh, 19p/Plug-In BUT you do need their £299 'smart cable'.
'Ubitricity is now the UK’s largest public EV charging network with over 2,554 charge points and a 12.5% market share' which suggests that the market is very fragmented so far if the largest company only runs an eighth of the networks.
I suspect the market will settle down over the next few years leaving a small number of players and most people being able to plug most cars into most lamp-posts.
Why DDC are digging up roads/pavements, always an expensive option, rather than sticking them on lamp-posts is beyond me.
While commercial charging points will always be more expensive than home charging, especially once dynamic pricing comes in when we finally get round to building a national smart grid, most will be charging cheaply at home or work.
Whatever happens it's got to be better than the 4* I paid 148p/l for on the M1 on Monday.

Source London charge me just over £2 an hour on a 7 Kw charger which is not bad considering that includes on-street parking for up to 4 hours. Usually have no trouble finding an available one. In much of London the parking alone is more than
that. Ubitricity is heavily London-centric whereas I go to London seldom and already have two bulky cables in my boot. And when I’m farther afield than London I need at least a 50 kW rapid charger.
