But it seems that, as with the more recent census websites, the National Archives’ site has crashed on its first day. Pase stands for Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England. One definition of Pase said that it is - or rather will be - a searchable database of all recorded people living in early medieval England and Prosopography is: “ the collection of all known information about individuals within a given period, often in the form of a register or database.” But, while we wait for the National Archives to deliver, some little known but exciting prosopographical tools have been put on line by Bromley Archives. I refer to the jewels in the crown of Bromley’s local history resources - the street directories. Thirty-two of Bromley Library’s collection are now available on fully searchable and printable PDF format. The directories available are: Beckenham 1885, 1887, 1895,1898, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1911, 1916, Penge 1871-2, 1876 Bromley 1869, 1875, 1876, 1887, 1889, 1891, 1892, 1896, 1900, 1903, 1905,1909, 1910, 1914, 1916,1924, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1933, 1937 Apparently they are a by-product of some directories being recently rebound. The binders provided a free digital copy which have been placed on the website. http:// archive.library.bromley.gov.uk/dserve/Commercialstreetdirectories.htm Sadly, there is no money for this project this year so it will not be continued. Cliff Watkins Library needs help with mystery gravestones Simon Finch at Bromley Local Studies Library has photographs of some gravestones in Bromley (one from 1873) but has been unable to identify their location. They maybe in a churchyard that cannot be found in the registers of public cemeteries. The photographs are now on our website - http://bblhs.website.orange.co.uk/ Can anyone help identify the location? 4 Bromleag September 2010 News from the committee BBLHS to host 2011 Kent History Federation Annual Conference Next year BBLHS will be hosting the Kent History Federation Annual Conference which will be held at Crofton Halls, Orpington on Saturday 7 May. The general theme is the borough of Bromley can trace its history from the Romans and the Anglo Saxons to its importance as a market town situated on the main route between London and the Kent coast. But we will also show our visitors from the other Kent local history societies the Council for Kentish Archaeology [CKA] and the wider local history community that Bromley has a wide an interesting history encompassing places as varied as Chislehurst Caves, Biggin Hill, Keston and Orpington as well as central Bromley, and that some very interesting and influential residents [not just Charles Darwin] have lived here. Arrangements are still being finalised but the day will start with talks in the morning, then after lunch there will be visits led by members of the society and the CKA. Our Chairman Tony Allnutt will give a talk on five Bromley residents and vice- chairman Michael Rawcliff will look at Aspects of Bromley History. Brian Philp of CKA will complete the morning line-up with an overview of the archaeology of North West Kent. For the afternoon guided visits – for which conference delegates will have to sign up when they book their places – we plan to include: Orpington Roman Villa, Keston Roman burial site, Orpington Priory, our Grade I listed, Bromley and Sheppard’s Colleges, Chislehurst Caves and a guided tour on foot of Camden Park Road, Chislehurst. All sites that can be easily reached from Orpington. A sub-committee has been set for the conference – Tony Allnutt, Valerie Stealey, Max Batten and Elaine Baker. They are looking for volunteers to help on the day with arranging the hall, looking after visitors etc. If you can help please call Val Stealey [0208 467 2988] or Tony Allnutt [0208 467 3842]. A booking form for the conference will be sent to every member early next year. Developing new Publications Patricia Knowlden is updating her book Bromley Manor and Palace and a sub- committee – Christine Hellicar, Patricia Knowlden, Michael Rawcliffe, Simon Finch – has been set-up to look into the feasibility of producing new publications. If any members would like to contribute ideas or become involved in future publications please contact Christine on 01689 857214. 5 Bromleag September 2010 News Government changes to archive funding New Archives and Records Association A new organisation, the Archives and Records Association [ARA] was set up earlier this year to provide support to archivists, records managers and conservators, advice to users and to bring the views of the sector as a whole to government and wider society. It brings together the Society of Archivists, the National Council on Archives (NCA) and Association of Chief Archivists in Local Government (ACALG) into one organisation. The ARA will continue to support the work of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Archives, which was administered by the NCA and will organise the annual Archive Awareness Campaign which seeks to engage new audiences with local and national archives. The ARA, though an independent body, will receive some public funding from The National Archives and the Museums, Libraries & Archives Council with specific objectives within the fields of advocacy, awareness raising and sector development. Abolition of the Museums, Libraries & Archives Council However, in July it was announced that the Department of Culture, Media and Sport is to abolish the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council saying: they want to: “Focus efforts on front-line, essential services ... Government support for museums, libraries and archives will continue.” Their press release adds that some key functions carried out by MLA and other bodies that may be abolished will be carried out by other bodies. DCMS are also looking at their responsibility for heritage and the built environment and considering the role and remit of English Heritage, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the National Heritage Memorial Fund Responding to the government's announcement that the MLA is to be wound up by April 2012, Chair Sir Andrew Motion and Chief Executive Roy Clare have pledged a smooth and orderly transition to deliver the best possible future for museums, libraries and archives across England and for the people and communities who expect to use them.

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.

Throughout this teacher's handbook, emphasis is placed on the archaeological evidence for conclusions about the use of the site, and there are suggested activities to help students understand the techniques and methods of archaeology. The handbook shows how the site relates to its environment in a geographical context and suggests how its mosaics and wall paintings can be used as stimuli for creative work, either written or artistic. It states that the evidence for building techniques can also be examined in the light of the technology curriculum, using the Roman builder activity sheet. The handbook consists of the following sections:

It had been found by John Erwood some ten months prior to this, during the construction of a rear extension to his house at 12 Leechcroft Road, Walllngton (TQ 2835 6513). The axe was located while digging a small soakaway 1.2m square connected with the building work. It had been placed edgeways In the ground with Its blade orientated to the east at a depth of 500mm from the surface; It lay some 200mm Into 'disturbed clay' beneath 400mm of topsoll. The geology hereabouts comprises the sands and clays of the Woolwich and Reading beds and small patches of sandy yellow-brown clay still adhere to several of the flake facets. The finder also noticed some animal bones at the same time as the discovery of the axe, though not apparently In direct association. It Is possible that these were of recent date. The axe was located In one corner of the soakaway and the act of prising It out of the section with a metal pickaxe slightly damaged the edge lying uppermost. (The position of the modern damage Is marked by an asterisk on the drawing.) Given Its recorded depth It Is conceivable that It was originally deposited In a shallow pit, though none was detected by the finder.
