Blackfen Road looking west towards Eltham.

Many of the residential developments built in this area during the 1930s were bungalows.

At first many of the new bungalows had allotments, small nurseries or even ploughed fields behind and many also had small shops in the front sitting room but proper shops later replaced these.
