Cray Hall 141 North Cray Road | Sidcup | DA14 5HE CRAY HALL Cray Hall 141 North Cray Road | Sidcup | DA14 5HE CRAY HALL The Grade II listed Cray Hall is believed to of been built circa 1750 and still retains many of its original charm and features, the property is set in approximately 6 acres including formal gardens, lawn, orchard and paddock and has various outbuildings, including stables for 10 horses with attached paddock and garaging for several cars (circa 10,000sqft with potential for development subject to planning consent). The indoor pool complex offers a 15m x 5m swimming pool, jacuzzi with spiral staircase down to sauna, male and female changing rooms, whilst to the rear of the pool room is a bar area, snooker room and vaulted gymnasium (circa 10,000sq ft). The location could not be better, with Gatwick Airport (35 Mins) Heathrow (60 mins), Biggin Hill (20 mins) Ebbsfleet International (16 mins) and Central London (35 mins) all by car, making this ideal for applicants looking to be in a country setting with the Five Arches across the road and Joydens Wood at the rear while being close to European and Worldwide transport links and of course the Capital. Finally there are outstanding state and private schools in the vicinity – St Olaves, Newstead, Eltham College, Bromley High, Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar, BETHS Grammar and many others. All in all the perfect location. Back in its heyday the original village of North Cray became almost a private estate for the wealthy. By the beginning of the 18th century large houses with magnificent ornate gardens lined the banks of the River Cray and the surrounding area. Houses such as North Cray Place, Loring Hall and Vale Mascal were owned by people like Lord Castlereagh (Chief Secretary for Ireland 1798 to 1801 and Foreign Secretary 1812 to 1822) and Lord Vansittart (Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs 1930 to 1938). The current owner has lived happily in the property for over 30 years, it is just time now to find something a little smaller.

  • London Assembly 25 May 2005
    London Assembly 25 May 2005 Fifty-First Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Author: The Mayor This is my fifty-first report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 3 March – 11 May 2005. General Election I thought it would be helpful to share with Assembly Members a brief report based on work from DMAG giving information concerning turnout, majorities, party votes and second places. The Assembly may find this of interest (Appendix B). Also attached is a table listing the change in vote across London broken down by constituency for the three main parties (Appendix A). A preliminary analysis of the General Election results in London shows the change in the percentage of votes for the parties in London from the last General Election was as follows: Party Change in % of vote in London % of Vote in London Labour -8.4 38.9 Liberal Democrat +4.4 21.9 Conservative +1.4 31.9 Respect +1.4 1.4 Green +1.0 2.7 UKIP +0.5 1.5 BNP +0.2 0.7 NF +0.1 0.1 Veritas +0.1 0.1 Others -0.6 0.8 These results are distorted by the fact that Respect and the BNP stood in very few seats, and the Greens did not stand in all seats – in those that they contested the BNP averaged 4.8%, Respect 14.8% and the Greens 4.0%. Outside of the east London stronghold, in the three other London seats where candidates stood, Respect gained 1.7%, 6.4% and 4.5%.

  • Bexley Bird Report 2016
    Bexley Bird Report 2016 Kingfisher –Crossness – Donna Zimmer Compiled by Ralph Todd June 2017 Bexley Bird Report 2016 Introduction This is, I believe, is the very first annual Bexley Bird Report, it replaces a half yearly report previously produced for the RSPB Bexley Group Newsletter/web-site and Bexley Wildlife web- site. I shall be interested in any feedback to try and measure how useful, informative or welcome it is. I suspect readers will be surprised to read that 153 different species turned up across the Borough during the 12 months of 2016. What is equally impressive is that the species reports are based on just over 13,000 individual records provided by nearly 80 different individuals. Whilst every endeavour has been made to authenticate the records they have not been subject to the rigorous analysis they would by the London Bird Club (LBC) as would normally be the case prior to publication in the annual London Bird Report (LBR). This report has also been produced in advance of the final data being available from LBC as this is not available until mid-summer the following year – it is inevitable therefore that some records might be missing. I am, however, confident no extra species would be added. The purpose of the report is four-fold:- To highlight the extraordinary range of species that reside, breed, pass through/over or make temporary stops in the Borough To hopefully stimulate a greater interest not only in the birds but also the places in which they are found. Bexley Borough has a wide range of open spaces covering a great variety of habitat types.

  • Key Species in Bexley
    www.bexley.gov.uk Key species in Bexley Bexley is home to a huge number of different plants and animals. Some of these are rare or declining, and Bexley's populations of them are of regional or national importance. A species does not have to be rare or threatened to be interesting and important. They may have strong cultural significance, or simply look or sound beautiful. Bats Bats are fascinating and unique animals, the only true flying mammals. At least nine of the 16 species of bat in the UK have been recorded in Bexley. All of Britain's bats have suffered serious declines during the past century, mainly due to loss of roosting sites and declines in insect numbers and diversity. All bats are protected under UK and European Union law. Places which provide good foraging habitat are very important to bats, as are roosting and breeding sites. Black poplar The native black poplar (or water poplar) is a scarce and declining tree in Britain. Almost all of Britain's surviving black poplars have been planted and derive from just a handful of individual trees which have been cloned. There is a fine mature black poplar in the churchyard at the south end of Foots Cray Meadows. Several more black poplars have been planted in the meadows, and some of these are now quite large. Two more mature black poplars, near the restaurant in Danson Park, were planted in the 1960s. Bluebell Bluebells are still common and widespread in suitable habitats, but there is some concern that climate change might cause them problems, especially in the south-east, where the climate is expected to become much drier.

  • Provisional Checklist and Account of the Mammals of the London Borough of Bexley
    PROVISIONAL CHECKLIST AND ACCOUNT OF THE MAMMALS OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY Compiled by Chris Rose BSc (Hons), MSc. 4th edition. December 2016. Photo: Donna Zimmer INTRODUCTION WHY PROVISIONAL? Bexley’s mammal fauna would appear to be little studied, at least in any systematic way, and its distribution is incompletely known. It would therefore be premature to suggest that this paper contains a definitive list of species and an accurate representation of their actual abundance and geographical range in the Borough. It is hoped, instead, that by publishing and then occasionally updating a ‘provisional list’ which pulls together as much currently available information as can readily be found, it will stimulate others to help start filling in the gaps, even in a casual way, by submitting records of whatever wild mammals they see in our area. For this reason the status of species not thought to currently occur, or which are no longer found in Bexley, is also given. Mammals are less easy to study than some other groups of species, often being small, nocturnal and thus inconspicuous. Detecting equipment is needed for the proper study of Bats. Training in the live-trapping of small mammals is recommended before embarking on such a course of action, and because Shrews are protected in this regard, a special licence should be obtained first in case any are caught. Suitable traps need to be purchased. Dissection of Owl pellets and the identification of field signs such as Water Vole droppings can help fill in some of the gaps. Perhaps this document will be picked up by local students who may be looking for a project to do as part of their coursework, and who will be able to overcome these obstacles.

  • Bexley Growth Strategy
    www.bexley.gov.uk Bexley Growth Strategy December 2017 Bexley Growth Strategy December 2017 Leader’s Foreword Following two years of detailed technical work and consultation, I am delighted to present the Bexley Growth Strategy that sets out how we plan to ensure our borough thrives and grows in a sustainable way. For centuries, Bexley riverside has been a place of enterprise and endeavour, from iron working and ship fitting to silk printing, quarrying and heavy engineering. People have come to live and work in the borough for generations, taking advantage of its riverside locations, bustling town and village centres and pleasant neighbourhoods as well as good links to London and Kent, major airports, the Channel rail tunnel and ports. Today Bexley remains a popular place to put down roots and for businesses to start and grow. We have a wealth of quality housing and employment land where large and small businesses alike are investing for the future. We also have a variety of historic buildings, neighbourhoods and open spaces that provide an important link to our proud heritage and are a rich resource. We have great schools and two world-class performing arts colleges plus exciting plans for a new Place and Making Institute in Thamesmead that will transform the skills training for everyone involved in literally building our future. History tells us that change is inevitable and we are ready to respond and adapt to meet new opportunities. London is facing unprecedented growth and Bexley needs to play its part in helping the capital continue to thrive. But we can only do that if we plan carefully and ensure we attract the right kind of quality investment supported by the funding of key infrastructure by central government, the Mayor of London and other public bodies.
