Maidstone

Maidstone is the largest town in Kent
Ambience of the old town can still be found
Iguanodon on the town`s Coat of Arms
Doomsday Book noted only 54 dwellings 
Saxon settlement once owned by Archbishop of Canterbury
Twinned with Beauvais in Picardy, France
Over 5000 gallons of gin were once distilled each week
Named several times in Ian Fleming`s Moonraker
Elephants Gert and Daisy were loved by the town`s people
