Old maps and photos show the present Park Avenue as the access route to Goddington, the other side of the present route of Court Road, the A224 Orpington bypass. It also extended the other side of Sevenoaks Road towards Orpington Station, along the route of a road still known as "The Avenue" (see Image). The maps date this route as being from the late 19th century, although development for housing took place much later - this section dates from the 1930s.
