Canterbury Pilgrims Hospital. (Eastbridge Hospital)
Canterbury Pilgrims Hospital or The Eastbridge, or the Hospital of St. Thomas the Martyr, Eastbridge to give it its full name, is not a hospital as we use the word today. It was and is still a hospital in the original sense of the word, a place of hospitality.
Since its foundation in the 12th century the Archbishop of Canterbury has been the patron. Originally created to provide for pilgrims visiting the tomb of St Thomas Becket, for over 800 years the Eastbridge has given shelter and help to pilgrims, soldiers, local societies and schoolchildren. For the last 400 years it has provided and still provides, a permanent home to a number of elderly people.
Today Eastbridge remains, in part, an almshouse (see Almshouses and our Residents) and most of its historic buildings are open to the public. The two chapels within the Hospital are in regular use and a number of exhibitions covering a variety of topics are held, usually in the Undercroft, throughout the year.

Canterbury, a cathedral city in southeast England, was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. Canterbury Cathedral, founded 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, incorporating Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows.
Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, which lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. Canterbury lies on the River Stour.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primate of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion owing to the importance of St Augustine, who served as the apostle to the pagan Kingdom of Kent around the turn of the 7th century. The city's cathedral became a major focus of pilgrimage following the 1170 martyrdom of Thomas Becket, although it had already been a well-trodden pilgrim destination since the murder of St Alphege by the men of King Canute in 1012. A journey of pilgrims to Becket's shrine served as the frame for Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th century classic The Canterbury Tales.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.

Canterbury doctors slam Treasury report as misprioritised

CANTERBURY, KENT - what to see
Canterbury in Kent is a truly gorgeous location I would highly recommend to everyone to visit. Not only it is packed with history but most of the historical sites can be viewed and admired in the city centre after paying a very small fee compared to the high fees you would have to pay in similar locations around the world that take you to cleaners.
On the way to the Cathedral from the train station (some one hour away from London thus making it a great day trip) you can visit the Tower, the gardens, the Freemason museum and even the very old Eastbridge hospital which was more like a location for pilgrims to rest and not have 'surgeries'!!! And all these are located on the high street!!!
Add to this the gorgeous architecture of the recent hundreds of years and then you learn why this place must be visited at least once in your life time.
I sincerely hope all this information was of some help to you.

Thank you for bearing with me whilst learning how to make my very first videos and set up everything: I am my worst enemy and criticised my every single step for not making it better in a 'pure perfection' state. Thank you everyone for taking the time to check this.

Britain`s quietest Motorway Service station
The Stop24 Motorway service area at Sandling, Junction 11, M20, Kent. At the time of this video, it was brand new and had poor signage from the motorway, so despite being at the time the largest MSA in the country, it was and is also the quietest. The shops recently tried to sue the company that owns it saying they had far fewer customers than promised. Such a shame it is not busier, as it is a lovely building. Now popular as a coach tour bus exchange stop The Eat has since closed, but has been replaced by a Great British Breakfast cafe. The Starbucks regrettably has now also closed. The Burger King has now also closed.
