Lee
Place, the moated mansion in the centre of
the village, was pulled down in 1824, when
the High Road was straightened.
A working class area, Lee New
Town, was built over the garden.
The proximity of Black-heath led to more intensive
middle class development of northern Lee from
the 1830s.
South of the High Road the parish continued
to be almost purely agricultural until the
opening of Lee Station in 1866 attracted builders
to Burnt Ash Road and its offshoots.
