I was throwing bags down a shaft onto a conveyor belt and my car keys flew into the air (they had been in my other hand) and dropped down among the rubbish. I yelled out 'my keys have gone over' and Ryan reacted very quickly and told me to shut off the belt, via the red button which I did. I felt mortified that I had done such a stupid thing and caused everyone so much hassle. Plus I had no idea where my keys were in the mess below. Glenn quickly came to my rescue and with a big hook managed to get my keys for me. I can't even imagine what I would have done without their help and quick thinking. Nothing was too much trouble for Glenn and Ryan, and their great attitude really made my day. Thank you, Jane from Whitstable

Before or after seeing Canterbury Cathedral, take some time in Buttermarket Square. Literally in…read morethe shadow of the Cathedral, Buttermarket is a great area for shopping, listening to the buskers perform, or checking out the famed WWI War Memorial Statue. With more than 500 years of history, the Square has served many different purposes. In its early years, it was known as Bull Stake ... bulls were tied up overnight to keep the meat tender before they met their great demise. Rumors and written history suggest there was a theater here once, and, during its time directly connected to the Cathedral, an escape tunnel for monks. And, of course, for many a-century, it was an actual butter market. If interested in the history of the Square, there's the Old Buttermarket Pub. Good eats, too! The most meaningful piece of history is the WWI War Memorial in the center of the square. A plaque reads: In grateful commemoration of the officers non-commissioned officers and men of canterbury who gave their lives for God, King and Country in the Great War 1914-1919. This memorial was erected by their proud and thankful citizens. "True love by life true love by death is tried; live thou for England we for England died" With the shops, pub, memorial and the rest, Buttermarket Square a great place to stop before going or after seeing the great Canterbury Cathedral.

Its a real shame that Canterbury hasn't got a better library as this is really too small and…read moretherefore can't stock that much. There has been talk for years of new location and it was hoped that the new Whitefriars complex would find a new home for it, but it wasn't to be.
