Beckenham Road, Beckenham, 1903

Beckenham Road, Beckenham, 1903
This photograph was taken on 24th April 1903
 

Developed following the break up of the Beckenham Lodge Estate in the 1880s these houses were typical of the second phase of Beckenham's development.

Smaller than earlier houses around the Junction station but still substantial, they were popular with professionals such as solicitors and doctors, although some were lived in by people with private incomes.

Mostly divided into flats in the 1950s a few have been replaced with modern blocks, but most survive.
