I have looked but have not had any luck in finding a picture of the garage.
Can anyone help please ? |

As a slight aside I always used to moan about how the Ring Road strangled Whitefriars, however as can been seen here - it's been built around for quite some time! |

It's amazing what you can do with Google Earth these days - even from the other side of the planet!
