Lagoon Road
The A224 Cray Avenue was built in the 1930s as one of the London arterial roads linking the A20 with the A21. This stretch was largely put to light industrial use, although at this particular point there was a large Olympic size open air swimming pool, built in 1933, which was a popular destination at the time with Londoners arriving by train at nearby St Mary Cray Station. But it closed in 1939 after the start of the war and bomb damage meant it never reopened. The site was subsequently redeveloped for light industrial use (the outline of the pool itself is still discernible as a large warehouse set at an angle to the other buildings), with the name of this access road commemorating its former purpose.

Allied Bakeries, Cray Avenue, Orpington
The further building, with its central pylon structure reminiscent of Charles Holden's interwar tube stations, presumably dates from this road's development in the 1930s as an arterial road fringed by light industry.
