Perry Hall Road, ORPINGTON, BR6 0EF

A cul-de-sac developed in the 1950s off Sandy Lane, built on the site of what was marked on maps from 1930 to 1950 as a nursery.

A stretch of Perry Hall Road dating from the 1970s - the houses themselves were earlier (1950s/60s) on what maps suggest was a track connecting Footbury Hill Road with Mountview Road and the ends of Sandy Lane and Cambrai Road.

A road linking Perry Hall Road and Chislehurst Road. It was laid out in the 1930s as a cul-de-sac (at that stage Perry Hall Road, in the foreground, had not been built) with the houses visible on the left hand side of the photo being built. The right hand side was marked on maps from 1930 to 1950 as a nursery, suggesting that this side of the road was not developed until the 1950s.

This very clear information board makes it hard to become lost. It is located at the approach from Perry Hall Road. Half of the open space is devoted to Poverest Recreation Ground whilst the north-western half is Covet Wood.

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. Cambray Road, which the 1940 1 inch map at http://www.npemap.org.uk/tiles/map.html#546,166,1 shows as a close off Chislehurst Road, with the 1970 1 inch map showing as having an extension at the foot along the line of the current Perry Hall Road, which since then has been widened to form a replacement main A208 Orpington to Chislehurst road, with Cambray Road forming a link between the old and new roads.

This path leads downhill from the sports pavilion within the park towards Perry Hall Road. Compare with Image

A byway from Footbury Hill Road, leads into a footpath to Chislehurst Road, past a sports pavilion. Another path leads right towards Lockesley Road or left to Perry Hall Road. In the foreground is a large information board about the park.
