Tesco Superstore Elmers End

The following photos were taken at the Teso Supersore in Elmers End, Bromley, Kent.

Tesco Clock Tower at 11:05am

This Tesco Superstore is in the process of having some major rework done. The last time I was here the car park was a single level, now it's double story. The surrounding roads are also having some major roads works done to them.


Some information about Elmers End:

• Thomas Crapper was buried in Elmers End Cemetary (he popularised the flushing toilet)
• There is a story/urban legend that a famous highwayman called Elmer was hung in Elmers End and that's how Elmers End got it's name...
• There is an old sewerage farm close to Elmers End Station that has now been converted to South Norwood Country Park.
• The next train station from Elmers End Station is Clock House (photos to follow in my next post).
• Elmers End Station is a terminus for the Croydon Tramline from West Croydon.

PS The Tesco Superstore in Croydon also has a clock tower, here's some photos I posted in February 2009: http://www.masterclock.co.uk/2009/02/purley-cross-roundabout-clocks.html (scroll down on the page).
