History of Anerley.

Anerleyhas never existed as an independent entity, but rather as a general area. Priorto the enclosure and the relocation of the Crystal Palace to Penge Place at thetop of Sydenham Hill, Anerley was an unoccupied part of Penge Common, and didnot develop until the 19th century. The government Act of 1827 stipulated thata 50 feet (15 metres) wide, new road, was to be set out from Elmers End Road towhat is now Church Road, Upper Norwood.In 1827, a Scottish silk manufacturer named William Sanderson bought land onthe former Penge Common, he built the first house in the area, which he named"Anerly", a Scottish word meaning "solitary" or"only", and the road subsequently became known as Anerley Road, alsogiving the name to the surrounding area.William Sanderson's name is the first to appear in the first rate book, dated18 June 1827, now held in the Anerley Town Hall. From the 1860s the residentialarea developed, grand Victorian houses were built along Anerley Road, andAnerley formed part of the Parish of St Paul's, forming in 1861.Anerley Vestry Hall (Anerley Town hall) was built in 1878 for the sum of£4,341, to conduct public business for the area.It became a Town hall as a result of the London Government Act 1899, thus in1900 becoming part of the Penge Urban District of Kent. The Hall was enlargedin 1911 for the sum of £3,229 and contained offices, a public hall, the councilchamber, committee rooms, and a petty sessional court opened in 1925.By the beginning of the 20th century, Anerley, like the now known area of CrystalPalace was in decline with much of the grand Victorian houses converted intoflats, and by the middle of the century housing estates constructed.Anerley became part of the London Borough of Bromley in 1965. With the demiseof the local government ward of Anerley, the name Anerley is mainly applied tothe area in the proximity of the railway station, to the top of Anerley HillRoad and down to the Birkbeck station border divide with London and Kent. TheSE20 postcode district was officially named Anerley but covered Anerley, Pengeand parts of Beckenham.
