Most of Bexleyheath and Barnehurst was a creation of the 1930s, but a few sites escaped the builders’ fevered activity. The initiative was quickly resumed after the war when pockets of land, in this case the site of the Springfield House, were built on.

The Springfield Estate was re-developed by W.G. Garratt and Sons Ltd.

Nearby Dorothy Evans Close was also a post-war development.

The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
