A series of photos showing the diversity of housing in one gridsquare in outer suburbia. For others in series see http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=1905481. Any further information, such as building dates and what was on the sites before building, would be appreciated. In contrast to the 20th century development of this gridsquare, this grade II listed building (for listing particulars see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1064329 ) is one of the oldest buildings in Orpington, having been built in the 18th century, being the farmhouse for the farm that covered part of this area. It is a reminder that there was life before suburban sprawl!
