History

The Watermen's Almshouses

Penge was once a small town, which was recorded under the name Penceat in a Saxon deed dating from 957. Most historians believe the name of the town is derived from the Celtic word "Penceat" which means "edge of wood" and refers to the fact that the surrounding area was once covered in a dense forest. The original Celtic words of which the name was composed referred to "pen", "head", as in the Welsh "pen" (used in Penarth) and "ceat", "wood", similar to the Welsh "coed" (used in Llangoedmor). Another suggestion is that Penge takes it name from the Danish word "penge" meaning 'money'. Image File history File links Penge_Watermens_Almshouses. ...

Penge formed a detached part of the parish of Battersea, with the historic county boundary between Kent and Surrey forming its eastern boundary.^[1] In 1855 both parts of the parish were included in the area of the Metropolitan Board of Works, with Penge Hamlet Vestry electing six members to the Lewisham District Board of Works.^[2] The Local Government Act 1888 abolished the Metropolitan Board, with its area becoming the County of London. However the London Government Act 1899 subsequently made provision for Penge to be removed from the County of London and annexed to either Surrey or Kent. Accordingly, an order in council transferred the hamlet to Kent in 1900, constituting it as Penge Urban District.^[3] The urban district was abolished in 1965 by the London Government Act 1963, and its former area merged with that of other districts to form the London Borough of Bromley. With the creation of the Penge Urban District, Penge New Road (formerly the part of Beckenham Road north of Kent House Road) was renamed Penge High Street Battersea is a place in the London Borough of Wandsworth. ...

The London Government Act 1963 was an Act of the UK parliament which led to the official recognition of the conurbation known as Greater London. ...

In the Victorian era Penge developed into a fashionable suburb because of its proximity to the relocated Crystal Palace. By 1862 Stanford's map of London[1] shows large homes had been constructed along Penge New Road (now Crystal Palace Park Road and Penge High Street), Thick Wood (now Thicket) Road and Anerley Road. This all came to an end with the notorious Penge Murders of 1877[2] The 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park . ...

Historical buildings and structures

• There are many Victorian almshouses in Penge, the oldest being the Royal Watermen's Almshouses[3], built around 1840 by the Company of Watermen and Lightermen of the City of London for retired company Freemen and their widows. In 1973, the almspeople were moved to a new site in Hastings, and the original buildings were converted into private homes.
• The Queen Adelaide Almshouses were built in 1848 at the request of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, the widow of King William IV, to provide shelter for twelve widows or orphan daughters of naval officers. Again, the almshouses are now in private residences.
• St. John's Cottages on Maple Road were built as almshouses in 1863, designed by the architect Edwin Nash. As with their predecessors, the cottages are now privately owned homes. In 1959 No.8 was destroyed by a gas explosion killing one person. The cottage was rebuilt to closely resemble the original.
• In addition, the police station at the corner of the High Street and Green Lane is believed to be London's oldest working police station [4]
• When completed in 1956 the Crystal Palace Transmitter was the tallest structure in the UK, a record it lost to the Anglia Television transmitter in 1959. It remained the tallest structure in the London area until 1991.
• The London and Croydon Canal was built across Penge Common along what is now the line of the railway through Penge West railway station, deviating to the south before Anerley railway station. There is a remnant at the northern corner of Betts Park, Anerley.
• Following the closure of the London and Croydon Canal, the London and Croydon Railway was built largely along the same course, opening in 1839. Isambard Kingdom Brunel built an atmospheric railway along this course.

After the Crystal Palace was moved to Penge, a fashionable day out was to visit the Crystal Palace during the day and take the tram down the hill to one of two Music Halls - The King's Hall and the Empire Theatre [5][6]. Music Hall comedians were in the habit of making fun of the locale in which they appeared and consequently Penge became the butt of many jokes. Playing on the idea that the word penge seems to be an inherently funny word, and its apparent shabby-genteel image, the place has been lightly parodied by: The belief that certain words are inherently funny, for reasons ranging from onomatopoeia to sexual innuendo, is widespread among people who work in humor. ...

Famous public houses and bus terminus

• Penge is home to a number of taverns and public houses. The Crooked Billet is by far the oldest and arguably the most famous, not least for its unusual and fetching name but mostly for lending its name as a bus route terminus since 1914. The 1868 Ordnance Survey map shows the Old Crooked Billet located to the southeast of the current location. This earlier location was on the eastward side of Penge Green, which disappeared as a result of The Penge Enclosure Act, 1827. This left the Crooked Billet with no frontage to Beckenham Road, so new premises were constructed on the present site. General Omnibus routes 109 and 609 both operated between Bromley Market and the Crooked Billet following different routes. The 109 was renumbered 227 by London Transport and continued to terminate at the Crooked Billet. (Route 609 was shortened terminating in Beckenham as route 126). At various times the 227 operated from the Crooked Billet to Chiselhurst, Eltham and Welling. Around 1950 some services were extended past the Crooked Billet to the Crystal Palace. Eventually alternate buses travelled the extended route until the present service arose at the time London Transport was privatised. The 354 buses now use the terminus, as do so short running buses on route 194 which carry the destination 'Penge High Street'.
• The Pawleyne Arms is currently the terminus for the 176 bus service. It was previously an intermediate terminus for the 12, 75 and 194 bus services.
• The public houses in Maple Road have nearly all changed their names. The Dew Drop Inn is now The Market Tavern (and features in the television series The Bill as the Market Tavern in Canley Market). The London Tavern became The Hop Exchange, then The Hopsack and finally The Hop House. As of 2006, it was closed. The Lord Palmerston has been delicensed and is now a pizza outlet. The King William IV is now The Maple Tree. Only The Golden Lion has retained its name, although it has extended its premises substantially.
• Other public houses in the area are: The Goldsmith Arms, Bridge House Tavern, Queen Adelaide Arms, The Alexandra, Graces(formerly Dr W G Grace), Hollywood East (formerly The Park Tavern), Kent House Tavern, Robin Hood (closed, subsequently destroyed by fire in 2006), Royal Oak and The Thicket Tavern.
• Penge also has several clubs including a Conservative Club. The Penge & District Trade Union Social Club (CIU) built by local tradesmen in 1922, the former Liberal Club closed in 2005.
