Description This photograph, looking up Queen Street at an unknown date, shows the Three Cups public house on the left and, on the right, the building that operated as a grocer until 1909 before becoming the Rob Roy. The narrow street, facades and period shopfronts capture the character of The Brook’s corner at Queen Street in its late-19th/early-20th-century configuration.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) The Brook, Chatham
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The file provides rare visual evidence of the Three Cups and adjacent Rob Roy grocer/pub arrangement on Queen Street, illustrating the street’s historic commercial architecture as discussed in the “Historic Pubs and Shops on The Brook” section. Without this image, readers would lack direct documentation of these specific buildings and the streetscape they formed.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
No freely licensed photograph shows this exact street view, the Three Cups and its neighbour in situ. Any alternative depiction would be a modern recreation or generic illustration, which would fail to convey the authentic architectural details and period atmosphere.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This single image will be used only in the “The Brook in Victorian Chatham: Red-Light District and Vice” section, displayed at low resolution (max 1 000 px width); no other non-free content is included.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The image is used solely for non-commercial, educational purposes in Wikipedia. Its resolution and cropping prevent competition with any commercial reproductions.
Other information The photograph captures a corner of Chatham’s once-vibrant pub and retail district. Both the Three Cups and Rob Roy buildings have since been demolished, making this image an important record of lost local heritage.
