Farley House, Crest View Drive, was built in 1958 as the headquarters of the Peachey Company.

The firm grew from the Petts Wood Estate Company, its chairman and joint managing director being the son-in-law of Basil Scruby, who was behind Petts Wood's pre-war development.

The firm moved away in 1965.

The building was renovated in 1988 and became the headquarters of the News Shopper newspaper.
