Kenley
Kenley is a district in the south of the London Borough of Croydon (traditionally in Surrey). Kenley is located 13 miles south of Charing Cross. Significant parts of Kenley lie within the Metropolitan Green Belt. Particularly, the south of Kenley is dominated by the open green areas of Kenley Common and Kenley Aerodrome. The 2011 census noted Kenley having a population of 14,966. For centuries, Kenley belonged to Coulsdon Manor which covered all of the area and was largely farm land, with a handful of large houses and their estates. The formal opening of the railway on 4 August 1856 completely transformed Kenley. The new train triggered urban growth. By the end of the Victorian era, Kenley had assumed its own identity. Kenley Common constitutes fifty-six hectares of green open space surrounding a past Battle of Britain airfield. It is a mix of chalk grassland and ancient forest set among gently rolling hills. Blessed with fine views across the Caterham valley and the North Downs beyond, visitors find it hard to think that the centre of London is just 14 miles to the north. Just one of Kenley's landmark buildings is the Memorial Hall. It was opened in 1922 to honour those who gave their lives in World War I. It was eventually extended and re-opened by Group Captain Douglas Bader in 1975. Hammond Innes' book Attack Alarm was based on his experiences as a Royal Artillery anti-aircraft gunner at RAF Kenley during the Battle of Britain. It contains graphic descriptions of the station and attacks on it in 1940. English Heritage described Kenley as the "most complete fighter airfield connected with the Battle of Britain to have actually survived". For all your home developments, make certain to find dependable experts in Kenley to make certain of quality.
