The proposed site for the church and shops
eventually became the site of the Langley
Park Schools.
Consisting mainly of sizable detached or semi-detached
housing it remains ones of Beckenham's most
exclusive and unspoilt areas.
The
Park Langley develop-ment, of which this road
was a part, began in 1908 when H & J Taylor,
a Lewisham building firm, bought a sizeable
part of the ancient Langley Park Estate from
the Goodhart family.
Originally envisaged as a self contained garden
city complete with circular shopping centre,
church and dance hall building, it was interrupted
by World War I causing all but the housing
to be abandoned.
Some parts to the north of Brabourne Rise
remained unfinished into the fifties.
