The large scale vaccine site will open in Folkestone on Tuesday and operate from 8am until 8pm to deliver thousands of vaccines seven days a week.
The last days of Debenhams.
But the site at numbers 44-68 Sandgate Road has a long and interesting history as a department store and played an important role in the First World War.
Before it was a Debenhams, the site was another department store known as Bobby, which had other stores in east Kent.
In 1906, Frederick Bobby acquired C.J. Saunders drapers in Rendezvous Street, Folkestone, which proved a success and he soon outgrew the building.
