New Kent Road, The Southern Armoury. Tom Collins with Lewis Collins from the Professionals. Not sure of this but I do not think Lewis was related to Tom Collins. The gun shop business was wound up in March 1987 following Tom's death.
Re: New kent Road
I am not sure if the numbers in the New Kent Road were changed over the years. If not then Ballard & Gilbert would have been the shop to the left of The Southern Armoury, (Cubix). Behind the shops in County Street at one time was a timber yard, so there is a possibility??

Supposedly taken from the garden of St Matthew's vicarage. I do have my doubts about that, simply because it looks too narrow for the New Kent Road. The only other gap looking into Chatteris Square was from Lion Street. This is now Elephant Park Central (2021), before that the Heygate Estate.

New Kent Road. Sandow’s cocoa store & factory in 1912, closed by 1916. The building was next to The Rockingham Arms pub and where the Trocodero Cinema would eventually be built in 1930.
