Crayford is a town in the London Borough of Bexley that was an important bridging point in Roman times across the River Cray, a tributary of the River Thames. The Roman name was Noviomagus Cantiacorum - the new market of the Cantiaci. As a parish (pre 1920) it included Erith and Slade Green which lie to the north. For centuries it was strongly associated with brick-making, the printing of silk scarves, ties and calico cloths, and for a short period carpet-making. After 1897 the Vickers Company that built military aeroplanes and armaments became the dominant employer building homes, a theatre and a canteen close to many workshops. The latter constructed during World War One became the town hall of the Urban District Council and remains a major landmark in municipal use.
