More about this scene

It is hard to imagine now, but this was still countryside not too many years ago. The name means 'long heath', and it was recorded in a deed dated 1426, now at Stratford Records Office. In the 1930s it was given over to housing development, though Longmore Farm survived until the 1950s, when it was demolished.

This image shows Longmore Garage in the foreground. My friend Terry Stokes did his apprenticeship there. I spent many hours hanging out there and helping if I could. We also used their spark plug cleaner for cleaning the spark plugs that got fouled up on our Lambretta scooters. Charlie was the head mechanic, manager and was a master at panel beating and bodywork.
