Orpington Local Information
Orpington is a town in the London Borough of Bromley. Stone Age
and Bronze Age remnants have been found in various parts of the
town and the remains of an Iron Age farmstead were excavated in
1956. Until the railway came to the town in 1868, Orpington was
a small country village surrounded by fruit farms, orchards and
hop fields.
The railway linked Orpington to Central London and Sevenoaks and
this saw the beginning of residential development in the area. The
station was rebuilt in 1904 bringing the number of platforms to
six. The improvement in rail services led to a boom in housing development
in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
During the 2nd World War the town suffered bomb damage and V-1
and V-2 attacks due to its proximity to the Biggin Hill Aerodrome.
The last British civilian killed by German bombing was killed in
her home in Orpington.
Orpington Priory, now a public library and museum, is a medieval
‘hall house’ The original house was demolished and rebuilt
in 1290. It passed into private hands in the 17th century. The garden
forms a public park and contains a natural pond.
The town has featured in several TV programmes including The Fall
and Rise of Reginald Perrin and The Bill.
Whatever your reason for renting a van, The Car Hire Company can
provide you with the van rental you need at a value price.
