Looked out onto Farwig Lane, The Royal Oak pub and the bottling plant. There was also an Express dairy shop and a post office in College Road. Frequently heard glass breaking when crates got dropped, and the stream of tankers bringing in the milk."

1976 Bromley. Graham Roberts writes "This is Farwig Lane and the site that was occupied by Express Dairy. I was walking home from Bromley North Station when I took this photo. A Securicor van was parked at the dairy to collect the Friday takings, this was the day the milkmen collected money on their rounds. Suddenly the doors of a van burst open and out jumped some men shouting, firing guns and then robbing the cash being taken to the van. One of the robbers shouted 'Where is he?', I think maybe the getaway driver hadn’t arrived as planned and the robbers ran off in all directions. No one was hurt luckily but I’m told a bullet was found in the headlamp of a nearby parked car." (Courtesy Graham Roberts)
