Repton Road, ORPINGTON, BR6 9HS

One of a number of roads in southeast Orpington named after public schools. Cheltenham Road links Repton Road and Charterhouse Road, the latter just visible in the background.

This is where the South Eastern main line crosses Sevenoaks Road, as the railway climbs up from Orpington Station towards Chelsfield and Polhill Tunnels, where it cuts through the North Downs. Although it is generally thought of as a bridge, it could almost be defined as a "cut and cover" tunnel, given the amount of embankment above it, and the maturity of the trees growing there. The scale of it can be seen from the person about to work through it, on the left of the picture.

The railway is the main line to Tonbridge and points east.

One of a number of roads in southeast Orpington named after public schools, seen here at its junction with Charterhouse Road.

Operated by Thames Water. Although the River Cray rises from springs in Priory Gardens (see Image), the head of the valley is much further south, and in the past the High Street through Orpington would periodically flood. Now water extraction at this site would seem to make this far less likely, if not impossible. A pumping station has stood here since 1880, with the original one built by the West Kent Water Company.

Part of the development of much of the Orpington Hospital site (see Image), the majority of road names having a Cornish theme.

This is a slight exception to the roads in this part of Orpington, which are generally named after public schools, which Sandhurst is not, even if it is still an educational establishment. This bottom section of the road, with the three semis seen here, has a different character from the upper section - see Image
