Maypole, Bromley
A forgotten name for the south-eastern end of Chelsfield Village, close to the Kent countryside
The rear of the Bo Peep public house
This Maypole should not be confused with another village of the same name, north of Joydens Wood, which lies just outside Greater London in the borough of Dartford.
Maypole’s terraced cottages vary greatly in antiquity and loveliness. The former Maypole pub is now one of these cottages.
On Hewitts Road, the Bo Peep (previously the White Hart) was once a base for wool smugglers. The building, in knapped flint with a tiled upper floor, dates from 1548.
