Inscription

72 Farm Lane
This building was constructed over market gardens in 1889 as two-storey stabling for the London Road Car Company, operators of horse-drawn buses. When engines replaced horses, the London General Omnibus Company, successor to the LRCC, established a coach-building works here. It had various other transport-related uses from the 1920s on, before redevelopment in 2013.
