What would seem to be a boundary stone, situated on Spur Road (see Image for wider view). I have not been able to identify what it signifies. "KCC" is almost certainly "Kent County Council" (in which county this area was situated until included in the London Borough of Bromley in 1965). But the meaning of "B" and "C" is a mystery. From old maps there has never been a boundary here, and in the 1920s this would have all been part of the Bromley Rural District, before becoming Orpington Urban District in 1934. The village of Chelsfield lies to the southeast of here, but I can find no evidence of it having reached this far, and even if it did, that would leave the "B" totally unexplained - at this level west of here would unquestionably have been Orpington.
