Kemnal Road, Chislehurst

Maps from 1974

Kemnal Manor and Foxbury 1974
Few changes can be seen since 1959, except for more houses to the north east of
the by-pass, and the creation of a dog racing track below Partridge Shaw. However
Kemnal Manor was now in ruins, following a fire in 1964, and the estate was
overgrown and unmanaged. Kemnal Avenue Lodge is still shown here, but was
demolished around this time.
