Old Perry Street, CHISLEHURST, BR7 6PY

Scadbury is first mentioned in the 13th century, when it was owned by the de Scathebury family. From 1424 to about 1655 it was owned by the Walsinghams, including Christopher Marlowe's patron, Sir Thomas Walsingham. Queen Elizabeth I's spymaster, Francis Walsingham, was born here. It was purchased by the London Borough of Bromley in 1983 and opened to the public in 1985. Scadbury Park has a feel of real countryside, despite having very busy roads on three sides. May is the month of cow parsley. This carving has another one nearby - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7171728

Grade II listed school house, divided into two cottages on Old Perry Street. See http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-358542-school-house-opposite-gate-piers-bromley for more details about the building.

The water is part of the moat belonging to the manor house which once stood on this site.

Old Perry Street is now a quiet backwater, by-passed by the busy Perry Street (A222). Established in the 19th century, the Sydney Arms was previously known as The Swan, and in Pigot's Directory of 1832 known as the White Swan. It was renamed in the 1880s in honour of John Robert Townshend, 3rd Viscount Sydney.

In this picture can be seen some gate posts which were once the entrance to Scadbury Park and is now on the opposite side of the road. Beyond the gate posts is the sign for the Sydney Arms - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2336775 and a bit further along the trees beyond the lamp post mark one of the modern entrances to Scadbury Park.
