If you break into the car you get licked to death? 
*is "bunk rooms" a Devon euphemism?🤩

Its older cousin had been performing faultlessly. It even has a functioning aftermarket alarm system that you can see in the front window…

Although apparently Peugeot  got there first

I'm pretty sure that building on the right is the Lord Leycester Hospital.   I used to work just around the corner from it c.1980.
"The Lord Leycester Hospital started life as just the Chapel of St James the Great, which was built over the West Gate of Warwick in 1126 by Roger de Newburgh, 2nd Norman Earl of Warwick.
The site of the hospital's main building and gardens was donated by the Earl of Warwick in the 14th century, to the United Guild of the Holy Trinity and St George, under license to the young King Richard II (son of Edward - The Black Prince - Prince of Wales).  After the dissolution of the guild in the 1540's (..by Henry VIII) the site was transferred to the Corporation of Warwick which used the buildings as a Burgh Hall and grammar school.  In 1571, the Corporation presented the property to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leycester, who wished to found an almshouse / hospital for aged &/or injured soldiers and their wives, under royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I.   It was run by 12 resident brethren (originally soldiers) under the charge of a Master.
In 1617 its Great Hall was used to entertain King James I on his visit to Warwick. The town was in debt for 10 years as a result !   In 1694, a great fire spread through the streets of Warwick. Started at the Friends Meeting House, just across the High Street from the Lord Leycester Hospital, the fire was driven up the street's timber buildings by a strong south-westerly wind. It consumed virtually all buildings in its path. Thus, the original medieval timber-framed houses were destroyed and, in due course, replaced by the handsome stone and brick built buildings that you see today. Of the ancient buildings, only the Lord Leycester Hospital and its near neighbours survived.  The hospital continued to serve its purpose. More of it's historical significance < here >
The almshouse, known after its founder as the Lord Leycester Hospital, continues in existence up to the present day.  In 1966 the accommodation and facilities had been modernised, and the restored hospital was (re-)opened by Queen Elizabeth - the Queen Mother.  Today the hospital is still run by a Master, a retired officer of the armed forces. Eight ex-servicemen and their wives are provided with flats in return for their past services. They serve as guides for visitors to the Grade 1 listed building. A stone urn in the Master's garden is 2,000 years old. It was originally part of an Egyptian nilometer. what's one of those ? see < here >

Surely most would throw a velvet type material at her & all from the same direction 😉

Booze crooze, French styleeee.

It's a bit unclear - I went down to have a look. The yard is private with metal gates and at the rear there are a pair of modern houses - but these might comprise the footprint of the former factory. 

On the OS map of 1920 it all looks a bit more amalgamated with the building on the main road.

No sign of anything relating to the former use. The fate of the majority of 'motor works' in London. 
When I'm out and about I often look to see what's left. This is the fate of the former 'Windover' coachworks in Hendon...where these beauties were made.

Actually 123 Calvert road is still there, it's located in the yard behind 125, accessed under the arch at 121. If I ever get my Heron on the road I will be taking it back there...
