Brockley in the 1920s


Friend of BC Bea has sent us this map of 1920s Brockley. She says:


I find it interesting to see how some of the road names have changed i.e. Manor Road / St Peter's instead of Geoffrey Road and Albert, Clifton and Carlton Roads instead of Darling, Avon and Drake Roads (off Tressillian Road). I wonder why they changed?

Also, how little has been developed on the "other side of the tracks". It must have been great to have access to such large playing fields!

It is also possible to see the location of the band stand on Hilly Fields as well as the cricket grounds, but no bowling club, playground or (obviously) stone circle.
