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.

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.

This is Cathcart Drive, built immediately post war close to the railway, which runs behind the houses in this picture. The road bends here, and the resulting space was utilised to provide this triangular green. A similar one was included further along the road (see
Image).

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 semis are in Andover Road, to the west of the railway. Looking at the 1940 1 inch map at http://www.npemap.org.uk/tiles/map.html#546,166,1, these particular houses were already built by then, but what appears on the ground to be a similar development behind Andover Road, in Cathcart Drive, is still blank, with Andover Road itself only being partly developed. Unless the map was not fully up to date, this suggests that building either continued through the early part of the war, or even immediately post war, using similar “off the shelf” designs.

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.
