Long Lane, Bexleyheath, 1934

This view of Long Lane, Bexleyheath, looks north west at the junction (now a roundabout) with Belvedere Road (left) and Bedonwell Road (right).

It shows a completed and maturing 1930s landscape.

No more than a decade before the photo was taken the area was arable land and market gardens.

Hiding behind the telephone kiosk is a structure familiar to all Dr Who fans, and equally familiar to the British people for many years: a police public call box.
