How the High Street has changed. Orpington 1982 to 2022. The Walnuts - Shopping, Sports, Education

In 1982 I was very concerned about the number of old buildings disappearing in the town so I photographed Orpington high street to create a record
I have gone back at regular intervals ever since to photograph and in 2022 video
So what has changed between 1982 and 2022? Do you remember the Police station built and demolished during the time of this survey!
In this video we look at the newest area of the highstreet, the Walnuts, which has seen probably the most change in the period with a police station coming and going, the DHSS building going and a new cinema and a hotel arriving in the centre of Orpington! The Walnuts - is a predominantly 1970s built shopping, sports and Educational area.
There is also a proposal currently being considered for considerable expansion. Make sure you Stay to the end to see everything that has changed, and also what has not. Some is quite surprising
