Website Creation for Hales Place Local Businesses
In Canterbury's corner of the South East region, Hales Place covers postcode district CT2 and borders St Stephen's, Westbere and Upper Harbledown. Canterbury Cathedral, founded by St Augustine in 597 AD, became the third most important Christian pilgrimage site in the world after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170, with pilgrims flocking to his shrine for over three hundred years and buying pilgrim badges as a medieval souvenir. The cobbled streets around the cathedral, including the Buttermarket, are still full of independent shops today, from Chaucer Bookshop to Canterbury Pottery.
Official ONS figures counted 5,835 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Canterbury's Business Improvement District has been renewed by ballot three times (2014, 2019 and 2024) and now collects around £490,000 a year in levy from more than 650 businesses within the city walls.
Median gross weekly pay for people working in Canterbury was £570 in 2025 (ONS). That's the kind of local economy website creation is designed to work in.
