During the 140 years or so that Kemnal Road has been a residential road, a great many people have come to live here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longest continuous life on the road that we have found appears to be Mrs Sheila Harding, who lived at Woodheath Cottage<\/a> for 54 years. Frank Tiarks lived here from 1877 until 1937, but spent considerable time between 1913 and 1923 living in other parts of Chislehurst or in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will have been many very short stays. Servants would come and go at very short notice, and at any one time between 1880 and 1914 there would have been more than 100 servants, often numbering more than the members of the family they were serving and many of the houses had estate workers working their grounds. An analysis of the numbers and costs of domestic servants in Kemnal Road in 1890 can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the nature and the location of the road, and especially the grandness of most of the original properties, it is not surprising that the road has seen its fair share of interesting people who are featured in the description of their properties.
