HISTORY High Street BROMLEY, 1980s - PART 1
A tour up and down Bromley High Street, England, United Kingdom, way back in the 1980s, when you could still drive the full length of the street, The Glades (intu Bromley) was not yet even under construction, and the Railway Signal pub still stood near Bromley South Train Station (has since been demolished), cars parking where they wanted, hardly any parking restrictions. See if you can spot all the old shops you thought you'd never see again, as they were back in the day. You might even spot yourself.

SWC Free Walk 82, Hayes to Knockholt. 16/2/13.
Yet another of those surprisingly rural walks within TFL zones 5 and 6, with this one being 10 miles in north-west Kent.
Within five minutes of leaving the suburban Hayes station, the walker is into the countryside on Hayes Common and then into some lovely mixed woodland. Then, it's on past Keston village, joining 'The London Loop' path, through more woods and on to Keston Ponds. 'Wilberforce Oak' is past shortly after, with the village of Downe, coming not long after this. An early lunch is possible here.
Pressing on though, the walker passes Darwin's former home, Down House, before crossing fields, and arriving at the high point of the walk (175m), the village of Cudham, where lunch is taken. There's a choice of the recommended pub, where some fine views can be had opposite, or a bench in the local park, as here.
Recharged, it's on across some more fields, with distant views of Canary Wharf, before some quiet lane walking to reach Rushmore Hill. A golf course is crossed shortly before reaching the station at Knockholt.
