The terraced houses date from the late 1800s. This is now a road which takes much traffic on its way to join the busy A2 and no longer looks the idyllic place in the photograph.

Prior to this it was little more than a country lane, but its proximity to the new railway station made it prime land for housing development.

Mayplace Farm, Barnehurst (1930s) For centuries, the farm fed and funded Mayplace. As Mayplace declined, the farm – farmhouse, yard, outbuildings and 16 acres of land – was sold for £2770 to the building firm W.H. Wedlock, who demolished the farm in the late 1930s and built Old Barn Way in its place during 1938.

The first shops were named ‘The Parade’ and provided a dozen retail units with living accommodation above.
