Housing diversity (Andover Road)
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.
These bungalows are in Andover Road, part of a development to the west of the railway, which judging from the 1940 1 inch map at http://www.npemap.org.uk/tiles/map.html#546,166,1 started just before the second world war. There are a number of similar bungalow developments in and around Orpington.

View down the line from Crofton Lane
The line was opened in 1868, when the South Eastern Railway opened its cut-off line between Chislehurst and Tonbridge. Previously, trains between London and Tunbridge Wells had taken a circuitous route via Redhill. This view looks down the line in the direction of Orpington Sidings and station.

Housing diversity (Allington Road)
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.
This is Allington Road, with a mix of 50s houses and bungalows and 1970s high density housing, the latter presumably built at the same time as the neighbouring Place Farm Estate.

Allington Road
A mix of 1970s and 1950s housing. Old maps suggest that the latter originally stretched all along this road, with this section being redeveloped presumably at the same time as the neighbouring Place Farm Estate.
