Chapel, Fullers Hill,
This doesn’t sound like a fun lot by today’s standards, but in the late 1800s there was a strong temperance movement in Westerham, linked with non-conformist religion practised at both the Congregational Church and the Gospel Chapel in the High Street. In advertising the evening, the poster uses the letters ‘D.V’ which in Brethren parlance stands for Deo Volente meaning ‘God Willing’.
Over the same period of the late 1800s the building that became Wolfe Garage on the Green was ‘The Fountain Coffee House and Temperance Hotel’, an establishment very popular with cyclists of the day.
