The Journac O F the Bromhey Borough Loccichistory Society Penge The JournaC o f the Bromhey Borough LocciCHistory Society March 2000 Price 60p Tree to mem6ers Penge CongregationaCChurch 1999 see articte on page 10 Bromleage March 2000 The inaugural meeting of the Bromley Borough Local History Society was held, twenty-six years ago, on 20th March 1974 at Stockwell College, now the Civic Centre, when over 100 people attended. 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).

Ordnance Survey Licence number 100017661. 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.

Having explored a few areas in South London, I found my dream flat on the borders of Lewisham, Southwark and Bromley. The flat has two double bedrooms, two storage cupboards, a nice sized lounge and kitchen. It was redecorated (painting/new laminate floors) in Nov 19, while the kitchen was renovated in the summer of 2017. There is access to a communal garden that is shared with Torrington Court but if you fancy larger green spaces, a maze, dinosaurs and a lake, then Crystal Palace Park is a 10min walk. If you fancy somewhere more quieter, then Wells Park and Dulwich Woods are close by. The location is fantastic as there are great transport links, which makes commuting for work or social events really easy. There are several mainline stations that are either a 10-15 min walk or a bus ride away. These are Sydenham & Penge West (for London Bridge, East & West Croydon, Victoria and Highbury & Islington), Crystal Palace (Highbury & Islington, Beckenham Junction, West Croydon, Clapham Junction and Victoria), Sydenham Hill & Penge East (Victoria, Herne Hill and Blackfriars).

  • The Crystal Palace
    The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936.
