Description: | This idyllic view of Chislehurst Road, in the market town of Bromley, shows a horse-drawn brake and delivery cart on an otherwise empty road. A woman turns to look at the camera as the photo is taken, and children look out of the delivery cart on which they seem to be hitching a ride.
The Oak was still there in 2006, but not with the Whitbread Brewery sign that is so prominently displayed on its roof. Whitbread Brewery had the first purpose-built premises for mass-produced beer in Britain in 1750.
The population and number of inhabited houses in Bromley rose sharply in the 40 years from 1881. The population density doubled, going from just under five people per hectare to just under ten. Bromley was made a borough in 1903. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment | Temporal: | 1900-1920 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
