The Recorder reports the closure of the Stevens Garage on Wellington Road following the retirement of proprietor Brad Stevens after 48 years.
His daughter told the paper: “When my dad first joined the garage in 1976 there were a total of four garages in Wanstead: Wanstead Garage, Browns and Nightingale Motors, all of which were small family-run businesses.
“Over the course of the years, and with the closure of Browns in 2015, Stevens Motors was the only independent garage in Wanstead.”
