For a London suburb, Beckenham is surprisingly leafy, forming part
of the South East London Green Chain. Originally a Kent village, it
remained a rural farming area interspersed with large, gracious
estates until the mid-nineteenth century, when the railway arrived
bringing prosperity and a huge boost in population. Home to a
number of estates that later became large parks, the area retains
much of the gentile and rural charm of its past. The area also
plays host to a number of historic buildings, and is home to one of
the oldest lychgates in England, dating back to the thirteenth
century. Using a beautiful selection of old and new photographs,
author David R. Johnson invites the reader to join him on a
nostalgic and picturesque journey through time, telling the
fascinating story of how Beckenham has grown into the vibrant
community it is today.
