The Chinese Garage In Beckenham – I thought this was interesting.

The garage was built in 1928 to a design by Edmund B. Clarke in the style of a Japanese pagoda on land adjoining Stone Park Farm which was part of the Langley Court Estate.

In this footage "a smartly dressed man in uniform opens a car door at the entrance. He salutes as a glamorous young woman gets out of the car. He dispenses petrol from an extravagant petrol pump. Shot of the petrol station’s gardens. The woman wanders around the garden. There is a small bridge and a pond with water lilies. The woman poses on the bridge then skips back to her car and drives off."

News from near Kelsey Park/ Stone Park Ave end – the garage currently sited where the original petrol garage from the 30’s was situated will be changed later this year. Sold to – apparently – Pets At Home (facing on the side by Stone Park Ave) and Majestic Wine Warehouse on the side facing South Eden park road (where customer parking will be). Also the 2 existing flats will be refurbished. Details on the Bromley planning permission website but they also posted info to local houses. The Chinese Garage is a listed building so will be refurbished sympathetically – should hopefully be nice. The Kia garage will still exist across the road near the small area of shops and Sponge Kitchen etc.
