End of Tenancy Cleaning Barnehurst DA7

Barnehurst DA7 is within the boundaries of the historic county of Kent. The area started to develop after the railway was built in 1881. The station name derives from a local landowner Colonel Frederick Barne and the word “hurst” which means woody bank. Barne owned May Place House and was the vice-chairman of the railway company. May Place is a 15th-century estate. It is owned by the Barne family since 1750. In 1895 the railway station was opened and this South East London area took the name of the station. Crayford district council bought May Place in 1938. Barnehurst golf course was built on the site of the former mansion.

Fifteen people lived here in 1895. In 1920, more than 600 homes were built on Barnehurst Road. A few years later, shops followed on Midfield Parade. Barnehurst Estate is one of the first buildings. It was built in 1926. W.H. Wedlock built housing in the area including the May Place estate. The 1930 brochure advertising the newly-built estate featured building descriptions. The house prices ranged from £495 to £850. The Red Barn is the pub where George Webb, the pianist who is regarded as the British parent of classic jazz, used to play with his band. The pub is a local landmark and quite famous among fans of this genre. Hills and Holes was the old name of Barnehurst Road. A local pub now serves a house ale called Hills and Holes.
