Berry's Green
Encyclopedia
Berry's Green is a small area in the London Borough of Bromley
in London
, UK. It is a fairly wooded rural area with a scattering of farmland. Housing consists mainly of detached properties, mostly bungalows, with a row of local authority cottages
and a static mobile home
site. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there was a sub-post office on the corner of Single Street and Jail Lane which sold basic provisions, such as bread, milk, sweets, and crisps. Mains sewerage
was installed in around 1973.
On the junction of Jail Lane, Berry's Hill, and Berry's Green Road is a small wood with large World War II
bomb crater. This may have been caused by a V2 rocket as it is almost the same distance from Germany as the last known V2, which was dropped in Kynaston Rd, Orpington. A lot of the V2s fell short of London towards the end of the war. There are also a number of smaller bomb craters scattered around the surrounding woodlands, due to its proximity to Biggin Hill airfield
. Berry's Green is home to the Cherry Lodge Golf Course.
