I remember there was a shop that sold all kinds of coffee beans. You could smell the coffee a few doors before you reached it. It's in the centre of the photo.

RE: RE: Walking up Beckenham High Street

The smell of the roasting coffee is one of my enduring memories of Beckenham High Street. I think the shop was called Carwardines (not sure about the spelling).
