Post or Ask something here in 'Anerley' Anerley Pantomimes at The Anerley Town HallDoes anyone remember those pantomimes at Anerley Town Hall in the 1950's Post reply -->London Anerley Evelyn Florence 16 Sep Anerley Seymout Villas and Betts ParkIn the early 1950's we lived at number 3 Seymour Villas. We loved it there in that huge house and have many happy memories. Our names are Evelyn, Valerie and David Florence. Our dad's name was Dan and Mum was Mary. We used to play out in the street and go to Betts Park. Mum used to shout from the window when we had to come home. Out house was next to the Betts Park Canal. I used to play mostly with a great friend Rosemary (Ro) Youles., and attended Anerley County Primary School. Then Melvin Road Girls School. Is there anyone else who lived there at the time on here???

 | ^ Anerley aka N Surrey District SchoolI don't know of any book about it. Google on its original name "North Surrey District School", which will find a good summary at http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?NorthSurreySD/NorthSurreySD.shtml It says most of the records are at the London Metropolitan Archive. Bromley Local Studies have the baptismal record. It was closed around 1938 and used as a refugee centre during WW2. After the war it became an old men's home and was indeed called "Anerley House" briefly, but later renamed "Orchard Lodge". Lists of residents are given in electoral rolls. It was closed around 1960 and demolished. The huge site (NSDS grew its own food) is now housing, James Dixon School, a Secure Children's Home which retains the name "Orchard Lodge" and Orchard Playing Fields.

Post reply -->London Anerley Karin 8 May ^ Anerley Samos RoadI live in Samos Rd & would love to know the history of the maisonette flats... were they built for railway workers or clerks? By a large company for its workers? I've not seen anything similar to these lovely flats anywhere else. I believe they were built in about 1900. In answer to some other queries, I go into London from Norwood Junction which is 5mins by bus (very frequent) or 20mins walk. You can get to Victoria (slow train only, 35 mins) or London bridge (fast train 11mins!) There is a good sized Tesco at the bottom of Elmer's End road and a decent Sainsbury in Penge near the crossroads. Many thanks Post reply -->London Anerley Penny 21 Jul ^ Anerley Book GroupThere is a reading group which meets at Anerley Library on the last Tuesday of every month at 2pm.

The tram will connect Anerley to a variety of places Croydon, Crystal Palce, Beckenham etc, what do people think? Does anyone know the timescale? Post reply -->London Anerley 8 Apr Anerley Betts Parkcan any one let me know the history of Betts park especially how it was named. possibly was it named after someone. Mail-me Post reply -->London Anerley lisa 25 Jan ^ Anerley Betts Park began in 1927 when Penge Council bought the house and grounds of "Oaklawn", formerly the vicarage of Holy Trinity Church, Anerley, which was on the corner of Anerley Road and Croydon Road, diagonally opposite the Robin Hood. The extensive grounds of the house ran almost the entire length of the old canal. Parts of the back gardens of the two neighbouring houses were also purchased to form an L-shaped park with an access road down to the present entrance in Croydon Road. The £3000 purchase price was donated by a Mr Betts, described in the Council Minutes as "a former pupil of St John's School", and probably the same Mr Betts who rented out houses in the district. The Park opened in December 1928. The house, which had a distinctive square "watchtower", became the prestigious Penge Library, and remained its home until 1968 when subsidence forced its demolition... Mail-me Post reply -->London Anerley Chris Doran 22 Aug ^ Anerley ... continuedDuring WW2 the Council took over the Weighton Tennis and Bowls Club's courts in the lower area around the present children's playground. The courts were later removed and the area added to the Park. Further extensions have been made over the years by purchase of the rest of the canal from the Vicar of Battersea in 1933, "King George's Field" in 1939, more back garden space in 1949, and some houses on Anerley Road in recent years. Whilst in private hands the canal had irregular earth banks probably close to the original, although at least one island and fountain had been added. But park users complained that it was smelly, and amid demands for it to be filled in, the Council encased it in its present concrete trough. Mail-me Post reply -->London Anerley Chris Doran 22 Aug ^ Anerley The rundown of Betts ParkPeople are really upset about the way Betts Park has been allowed to become rundown. As a user of other parks in Bromley the contrast in maintenance standards is staggering. Our Park, including the one small flower bed, is full of weeds, stinging nettles and gardening refuse left behind by park contractors. People relieve themselves anywhere as there are no toilets, is it any wonder that we now have high levels of crime, prostitution and violence ? Police helicopters are often hovering over the park in the early hours because it has no proper fences and gates are never locked, making it a hub for crime. Many local children are no longer allowed to the park unaccompanied - Betts park was never like this. The park pre-School has been broken into several times. The children have on these occasions become really distressed. Are the Children of Penge and Anerley not as important as the children in other parts of the Borough.
