Former School Board for London offices gateway, Elstree Hill, Bromley
The gateway here forms part of a house developed in 1930 by E. Alexander Young, architect and Borough Surveyor of the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham. Young took over a property that had been built as a summer house or "casino" for Lord and Lady Farnborough in the early 19th century, and expanded it using architectural salvage. Among the things he re-used was this gateway, built for the School Board for London's city-centre offices in 1874 by architects Bodley and Garner, and made available by the offices' demolition in 1929. Full details of the property are at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1396471 .

The house inside the gateway was built in the 1970s using the self-build method devised by Walter Segal (see https://www.selfbuild-central.co.uk/construction/main-structure/post-and-beam/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Segal ).
The Green Chain Walk passes this gateway on its way up Elstree Hill.
