Monks Lane Valet Centre
Formerly Monks Lane Filling Station. A rare survivor of the first purpose built petrol stations which appeared in the 1930s following legislation to regulate roadside fuel sales.
It is Grade 2 listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1350330 and the entry, as well as describing the structure, contains background information about the origin of early garages as a building type.
Quote "A 1934 electric petrol filling station with known designer and patron, that is mostly intact in a distinctive style. It is a relatively uncommon survival that contributes to our understanding of this type of building that played an important role in the early-C20 landscape."

The south end of Newtown Road
This used to be the route of the A34 into Newbury. You can see the vestigial evidence that it used to run straight on here. Apart from the dual carriageway to the east, the remaining traffic has now been diverted along Monks Lane to the right.
The building on the right was once Monks Lane Garage. I remember using a carol singing sheet sponsored by this garage 40+ years ago.
