The Golden Boot is a family-run shoe shop located in Maidstone, Kent.
Established in 1790, it is The Oldest Independent Shoe shop in England. The company has been owned by the same family for six generations and today is run by a father and son team, Edward and Lawrence Martin. The shop has occupied three sites over its long history, the original site was at 36 Gabriels Hill. It moved opposite in 1845 and then following a disastrous fire, the shop had to be moved into newly built premises that it continues to run today.
It opened workshops in 1845 in Palace Yard where roughly 20 men were employed and actually made half the stock for the shop. A large Golden Wellington measuring over 6 ft was put up outside the shop in the late 19th century and remains there to this day. Since then The Golden Boot has seen many changes and now consists of three departments selling an extensive and unique range of Ladies, Men's and Children's shoes and leather goods.
It is also a gun shop.
The Golden Boot shoe shop is the proud winner of awards from Drapers Footwear for 2006 and 2010 and Family Footwear Retailer of the Year 2008. http://www.drapersfootwearawards.co.uk/ http://www.drapersfootwearawards.co.uk/prev-winner.htm
Biagio Anthony Gazzarra (August 28, 1930 – February 3, 2012), known as Ben Gazzara, was an American film, stage, and Emmy Award winning television actor and director.
Gazzara was born in New York City, the son of Italian immigrants Angelina (née Cusumano) and Antonio Gazzarra, who was a laborer and carpenter. Gazzara grew up in New York's Kips Bay neighborhood; he lived on East 29th Street and participated in the drama program at Madison Square Boys and Girls Club located across the street. He attended New York City's Stuyvesant High School; but finally graduated from Saint Simon Stock in the Bronx. Years later, he said that the discovery of his love for acting saved him from a life of crime during his teen years. He went to City College of New York to study electrical engineering. After two years, he relented. He took classes in acting at the Dramatic Workshop of The New School in New York with the influential German director Erwin Piscator and afterward joined the Actors Studio.
In 1954, Gazzara (having tweaked his original surname from "Gazzarra") made several appearances on NBC's legal drama Justice, based on case studies from the Legal Aid Society of New York. Gazzara starred in various Broadway productions around this time, including creating the role of Brick in Tennessee Williams' Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1955) opposite Barbara BelGeddes, directed by Elia Kazan, although he lost out to Paul Newman when the film version was cast. He joined other Actors Studio members in the 1957 film The Strange One. Then came a high-profile performance as a soldier on trial for avenging his wife's rape in Otto Preminger's courtroom drama Anatomy of a Murder (1959).
