Tanyard Farm stood was at the end of Tanyard Lane, which is today called Elmwood Drive, off Bridgen Road, Bexley.
Mr Edward Bowler Watkins was born at Tanyard Farm and lived there for most of his life. He died in 1931 aged 91. By then the farm was no longer considered viable and in 1933, the landlord Robert Vansittart of Foots Cray Place sold the farm to developers.
