It lay on the old Maidstone Road (now bypassed by the A20 road) leading from London to north Kent. Until the 20th century, Foots Cray dominated the nearby, less ancient hill-top hamlet of Sidcup. The combined area was designated as the Urban District of Foots Cray in 1902.

In 1921 this change was reflected in the renaming of Foots Cray Urban District to Sidcup U ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
