"Bromley: A Tapestry of History and Tradition" Stepney Union Workhouse, Customs / Horn Dance, Bromley FC football team 1936 - these are just a few hints that unravel the rich tapestry of Bromley's history. Located in Langley Park, near Beckenham in Kent, it has been witness to centuries of captivating stories. As chronicled by Edward Hasted in his writings, this town holds secrets dating back to ancient times. One such secret lies within the brushstrokes of John Inigo Richards' artwork from Orpington in 1768. The artist captured the essence of Bromley's charm and character with every stroke. The allure extended beyond its borders as seen through an advertisement for Southern Railway Excursions. Visitors were enticed to explore this enchanting town and immerse themselves in its vibrant culture. The Horn Dance, originating from Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, found its way into the heart of England - specifically to our beloved Bromley. This traditional dance became a cherished part of local festivities and added another layer to the town's cultural heritage. Beckenham Place and grounds stood as a testament to grandeur during c1790. Its beauty was admired by all who visited or called it home – a reflection of the elegance that permeated throughout Bromley. High Street boasted an array of businesses eager to serve residents' needs; advertisements lined its streets showcasing goods and services available at one's fingertips. Bromley Workhouse served as both a reminder of hardship endured by some while also highlighting resilience amidst adversity. It stands as a symbol representing compassion within our community. Five Bells PH captured on camera immortalized moments shared among friends over pints – laughter echoing through generations within Greater London's boundaries. Lastly, engraved forever is The First London County Council - an institution that shaped modern governance while leaving an indelible mark on our town.
