BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • The Owl Prowl Continues!
    The Owl Prowl Continues! Report of Pilot Survey A tawny owl survey was carried out this autumn in the London Borough of Bromley under the leadership of Bromley Biodiversity Partnership, in particular by Bill Whitaker of the OFC. 59 records were submitted by 33 people from many parts of the borough. Tawny owls were recorded in about 17 areas: High Elms & the Cudham Valley, Darrick Wood area, Marvels & Elmstead Woods, between Elmstead Wood and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, between Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground & Chislehurst Golf Course, Chislehurst Golf Course itself, Old Hill/Lubbock Road area, Chislehurst, Sundridge Park, Kemnal Road, Chislehurst, the St Pauls Cray Road area, Hawkwood Estate/Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Hayes, near Bromley South, Kelsey Park, Beckenham, Crofton Woods and south of Biggin Hill. The records clearly show recording effort, with no records for several areas where owls are very likely to be present such as West Wickham and Keston Commons and hardly any records for areas of open countryside to the south and east of the borough where fewer people live. The almost complete lack of records from these areas and the peripheral wards of LBB to the east, south east, south and south west are also likely to be due in part to the fact that we were unable to communicate effectively with residents in these areas before the survey commenced. Within the larger areas where recordings were submitted there are probably several tawny owl territories, for example within High Elms Country Park and along the Cudham Valley. In well populated areas, for example within Chislehurst, there is likely to be some duplication of records, but the large number of tawny owl records for Chislehurst and its surroundings (Chislehurst Common, Chislehurst Golf Course, Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Elmstead and Marvels Wood, Sundridge Park and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, together with gardens between), may also reflect the importance of good connectivity between areas rich in biodiversity within an urban area.

  • February 1993
    BROMLEY BOROUGH LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY President: The Worshipful the Mayor of Bromley FEBRUARY 1993 This is the first newsletter for 1993 and I am going to alter things a little which I hope will meet with your approval. I have been rather worried about the interval between the issues of Bromieage - six monthly - and have decided to issue it instead with every newsletter. Because of the long gaps in Bromieage we have the situation where the article 'The Chislehurst Connection' was started in November 1991 and it is only 15 months later that we can show the sources used in the preparation of this article and I feel that it is just not good enough. I have aiso considered the possibility of producing the newsletter and Bromieage as A 5 size but with the equipment I have I can only do this by printing on A 4 and then having the whole page reduced in size. This would of course mean the print would come out very small and, in view of our many elderly members, this does not appear to be acceptable. I am aiso hopefully going to produce the newsletter bi-monthly instead of quarterly which should be better for the many members who are unable to attend most of our meetings. I am well aware that this will mean a heavier postage bill but if we aim to issue at the end of a month then we should be able to hand out many of the letters at our meeting on the first Tuesday of the following month and this will cut our costs considerably, so please make sure you take your copy at the meeting to save our postage.

The first newsletter went out in May, and the first Bromleage was issued in August 1974. As we go into a new century, the Society’s aim is that anyone with an interest in the history of any part of the Borough can meet to exchange information and to learn more. History is continually being made and at the same time destroyed, buildings are altered or demolished, memories fade and people pass away, records get destroyed or thrown away. We aim, in co-operation with the local history library, museums and other relevant organisations, to make sure at least some of this history is preserved for future generations. 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999 Meetings are held at 7.45 pm on the first Tuesday of the month, from October to July, in the Methodist Church Hall, North Street, Bromley (there is parking available, bus services nearby and facilities for the disabled).
