I asked the question to the person who runs this site http://www.trolleybus.net/ and here is the answer.. The Route 109 was the predecessor to London Transport route 227 and was introduced by Thomas Tilling in 1914. It ran from Penge to Chislehurst Queens Head and used single deckers because of the ...

Catherine Marsh and the navies are mentioned in Borrowmans Beckenham, I have seen an image of her in Simon Finch's book Beckenham and West Wickham.

Thanks again Terry, what a great bit of software that turns the pages.

Steve, Terry, thanks for this information. It is nice to see that these workers were remembered and continue to be remembered. The glass lantern slide image I have of the service is taken from an etching by what looks like B Jestor and there is some more writing (probably to do with the slide itself...

Many thanks for the information.

This service was held in Beckenham on St George's Rectory Field, it was attended by about 200 people.

I do not know the date and I was wondering why such a service was held?

Can anyone throw any light on the subject?

Thanks for the information.

Anerley Rd.
Birkbeck.
Croydon Rd, Penge Rd.

It was where The Moon and Stars Pub is today.

Any one know the route this bus would have taken, I believe it was the fore-runner to the 227. The reason I ask is because I have an image of the 109 outside what looks like a pub. At first I thought it may be The Alexandra but it is not. See image here http://www.beckenhamhistory.co.uk/Number109.jpg

Im am looking for some old photos of all the pubs in Penge that are no longer there. These are the ones that I am missing. The Watermans Arms....High St. General Jackson......Hawthorn Grove. General Simpson....Hawthorn Grove. The Plasterers Arms.....Hawthorn Grove. The Duke Of Edinburgh....Arpley Rd...

Click on the link then go to image number 59 as indicated in first post.

Is there a connection between the two?

Have a look here at this interesting brochure. http://www.beckenhamhistory.co.uk/flash ... lery5.html then image no 59

If you go here http://www.beckenhamhistory.co.uk/flash ... lery2.html and then look at image 32 you will see the houses through the trees. That is the best I can do for now.

Send me a PM.

That is a very long story. Bottom line is a member of The Penge Rotary Club has copyright and will not allow use of the DVD because the BBC may want to use the part with Frank and Peggy Spencer one day. He is in his late 90s and is very rich. I informed him that I would delete the bit with Frank and...

Here is link to a map of the area as it was in 1894.
