Map of Welling and East Wickham,
Bexley, 1897
1:2500 OS map, published by the

This
map shows Welling prior to its development
as a residential suburb.
The village was a traditional staging post
for coaches travelling between London and
Kent, as is witnessed by the three inns along
the Dover Road.
The transformation of Welling into a dormitory
town only became possible after the opening
of the Bexleyheath Railway in 1895. |
