Amenities: None
Parking: Adequate street
Public Transport: No
Garage no longer in use, (judging from bins kept in front of door and car parked in drive), but render in good condition. High rendered brickwork area above door, screening lower flat roof, not stepped as some other local examples are, or finished with capstones. Capstones often painted white.
Garage noticeably small, fitting only small car.
Further Notes: This garage is hidden, largely in front of a high beech hedge, and is dull seeming in comparison with next door's shed and new brickwork screen.
At the time of my visit in the late afternoon, the winter's sky was just beginning to turn to purple and blue and yellow, behind the tall trees of woods long existing before the suburb.
The garage survives; crows laughed sounding, at what is quiet below - the purple and blue of televisions flickered. And they prepared to roost in the high trees. Silence.
Coming Next: Lane, joining X Avenue and Y Avenue, 6 November 1953
Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI second that. I love small garages - the memory of the dimensions of old Morris Minors and Standard Vanguards, all long since vanished.
ReplyDeleteYes, the small garage built for small cars: the lack of height is what strikes me. Now, the main doors are silted and maybe so is the side door. But occasionally, just occasionally, someone still uses one.
