Full Description
No. 46 London Road was purpose built in the early 19th century as a facility for coach building, repair and other related activity. Until 1916, it was occupied by a number of coach builders among whom were Arrow (1839/1845), Simmonds (1845/1860), Caslake (1860/1880) and Hely (1880/1916). Hely moved from coach building/ repair into the sale and maintenance of small cars around 1906. From 1920 to 1980, it was occupied by the builder William Daws since when it has been home to a variety of businesses (a charity shop, Sevenoaks carpet company and Daisywheel Office services). The ground floor studio is recessed by 1.2 metres from the building line. The first floor features four sash windows, pilasters and a projecting string band, the latter extended round to the south elevation. The roof is set behind a rendered parapet. (1)
