Woodside Avenue (1903) Woodside Avenue is named for the hamlet of Woodside, between Addiscombe and South Norwood. It was first mentioned in 1332. The name "Woodside" is believed to refer to its proximity to the Great North Wood, an extensive forest that once covered the region and lends its name to the various ’Norwoods’ in the area. In the past, Woodside was primarily agricultural land. However, the heavy clay soil made farming a challenging endeavour. Though difficult for farming, the clay proved suitable for brick-making, and by the 1850s, a brick-making industry had emerged in the area. The chimneys of Handley’s brickworks were a prominent feature of the landscape, and their hooter, which signalled the start and end of the rest period, could be heard widely. Handley’s was later sold to Hall & Co, which was subsequently acquired by Ready Mixed Concrete. The brick factories eventually closed in 1974. Old London postcard TUM image id: 1600771607 Licence:	Alexandra Cottages, Albert Road in Penge were built between 1866 and 1868 by the Metropolitan Association for Improving the Dwellings of the Industrial Classes, the first such organisation to build semi-detached houses with gardens, rather than traditional terraces or tenement blocks. They were intended as low cost housing for London workers, being close to Penge station, although local workers were soon accommodated too. Now primarily in private ownership, they remain popular small houses. TUM image id: 1632760100 Licence:	Beckenham Road on 24 April 1903, looking west from Sidney Road. Begun just before 1880, the buildings on the south (left) side were originally Adeline Terrace, a row of private houses. Eight years after the opening of Clock House Station in 1890 they were converted into shops. The cottages in the south side are slightly newer (c.1881) and remained predominantly residential. On the far left are the gates of Sydney Lodge, the only pre-suburban survivor in this part of the road. Only the gabled building on the far right remains this side of the bridge. The rest of the buildings were destroyed on 2 August 1944 when a V1 flying bomb made a direct hit on Mrs Richards’ dining rooms towards the far end of the parade on the left. The road was widened after the war. TUM image id: 1632759056 Licence:	Clock House Parade, Beckenham (c.1910) By 1900 most of the Clock House area was built up, but a small site remained to the east of the station. This parade with flats above was added about 1906 following the success of the shops to the west. It has been threatened by redevelopment on a number of occasions but it still survives.

As 44-year-old Mrs Driscoll, with her teenage daughter May and her friend Elizabeth Murphy, crossed Dolphin Terrace in the grounds of the Crystal Palace, she was struck by a car belonging to the Anglo-French Motor Carriage Company that was being used for demonstration rides, driven by a Mr Edsell.
