Further down the street we come to yet another fine terrace of houses, Evans Row
, dating from 1794, as the plaque on the wall shows.
The attractive terrace is named after a former dignitary of the town.
We now pass a row of tasteful modern houses, regrettably on the sites of previously listed buildings, but nevertheless well in keeping with the general atmosphere of the town.
Then on to a pair of small houses built in 1856.
We now come to Nos 3-9, which are also early 18th century and have very much a nautical feel about them.
Nos 3 and 5 remain as houses and No 9 has been converted into a shop, but No 7, formerly the Castle Inn,
has some beautiful engraved windows, depicting the same views of the castle as we saw on the Church Font.
This is now the home of Queenborough Yacht Club.
By turning left at the end of the High Street, by the “Old House at Home” Public house,
we arrive at one of the most attractively set houses in Queenborough, Swale House. 
It dates from late 18th or early 19th century and used to be the residence of the Mayors of Queenborough. It is a rather stately building, set back in a small courtyard facing the sea. In 1989 it was completely restored with rebuilding as necessary to preserve its historical character externally.
Internally it contains modern residences to add to the adjacent new houses on the sea front. All having a good unrestricted view of the harbour.
The adjoining factories and works originated in 1548 with Copperas works, using the plentiful fossilized wood, rich in iron and sulphate, found on the Sheppey seashore.
It is worthwhile to pause a moment here at the seafront to view the shipping in the estuary. The all tide landing stage and pontoon of the Queenborough Harbour Trust can be seen in the distance.
The vista from here back up the High Street is quite charming, and reveals the true character of the place. 
The quality of Queenborough lies in its buildings being viewed collectively rather than as individual entities.
If we now return to the High Street and cross the street, we pass, on our left, a small area of land designated as a small park, and an area used as a car and dingy park for yachtsmen – this site previously having houses and shops.
Thus we arrive at two houses on the latterly formed corner, Nos 20 and 22. No 22 was once the Ship Inn and claims to be the place where William Hogarth stayed on a visit to the town. These two properties were renovated to their former glory externally in 1983. Hogarth, whilst staying at Queenborough drew some now famous prints of the High Street.
Behind Nos 20 and 22 stands an attractive group of mock Georgian houses, in keeping with the rest of the High Street, and if we now walk a little further up the street we pass a fine pair of 18th century cottages, Nos 34 and 36, both in splendid condition, and so return to the Guildhall.
On the opposite side of the street will be found a number of accesses leading to the Creek. 
The town’s buildings grew up along its banks and the waterway is still a very important aspect of modern day life here. It is a hive of activity, particularly in the summer months, when boat owners can be seen busying themselves on their vessels.
The quayside of the creek was greatly improved and modernised in 1988 by Swale Borough Council at considerable expense which has enhanced the look of the area.
This now completes our brief tour of Queenborough’s historic centre and, it is hoped, the walk has given you a thirst to return for more information and detail on the area. Please come again. You will always be welcome by the Queenborough Society and residents of Queenborough.
