Brabourne Rise, Park Langley, Beckenham (1926)

The Park Langley development, 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 the First World War causing all but the housing to be abandoned.
