The flats on the right, Verity House, are situated where the entrance to Romford (London Road) bus garage used to be. Its approximate position is marked by the tunnel beneath the flats. The garage was opened by Edward Hillman's Saloon Coaches Ltd in 1932, was taken over by the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933 and finally closed in 1977. For most of its life it provided vehicles for the frequent Green Line routes that formerly served the town.
