Town Profile Silver screen’s golden age
BOROUGH Green had a cinema for more than 50 years. However, the first silent pictures were shown in 1904-05 in a marquee, called Poole's Panorama, in Rock Road. The cinema itself was built in 1912. It had a gas engine driving a generator. The early years at the Electric Palace had more live shows than films, as it was a stop for theatrical groups between Bromley and Maidstone. Later it became the Rex and patrons used
to walk from as far afield as Plaxtol and Stansted. Most people had their regular seats. Schoolchildren were given a free show once a year. It closed in 1964.
Delights of diversity
at Great Comp A MUST-visit, especially for the green-fingered
fraternity, is Great Comp Garden, tucked away down an official Quiet Lane in the nearby parish of Platt. This delightful seven-acre garden, surrounding a
17th century manor (above), is the creation of the late Roderick and Joy Cameron, who moved there in 1957. 'Eric', a doughty Scot, was still hands-on well into his 80s.
