Yes, Station turns into High St and it appears to be the main road in the area.  Look at Google maps.

Hi Theresa

There is a business listed in (at least) 1968-1983 telephone directories - "F T EVERARD & Sons Ltd" (ship owners & tank lightermen - registered office) High St, Greenhithe but no number for the property is shown.

If you google "34 High Street Greenhithe" you will find a recent planning application and, as it appears to be a listed building you might find some details of the building (possibly even a picture) at http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/

28 High Street, Greenhithe, Kent.
34 High Street, Greenhithe, Kent.
11 Station Road, Greenhithe, Kent

What are the dates and sources for these addresses you have?

There's loads on the web about EVERARD ship builders in Greenhithe.

Hi

Everards still have an office in Dartford, on the Crossways estate (Just down the road from Hight Street Greenhithe). I think it mainly sells insurance now. The ship management side moved to Barrow last year. They were also recently sold to a larger company, but still retian the F T Everard & sons name.

My company used to provide warehousing and delivery to the ships for their spare parts, until they moved to Barrow.

I work about 3 mins from Greenhithe, so if you want any photos let me know.

I think Therea would really like you to knock on the doors and ask who lives there  ;D

If you're setting off down the High Street you'll need a pint first  ;)

Yep know that pub well... ;D

I think the Everard offices were on the other side of the road before then bend, but I could be wrong.
