Bexley is an area of south-east London, England and part of the London Borough of Bexley. It is located 13 miles (21km) east-southeast of Charing Cross. It was an ancient parish in the county of Kent. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Bexley increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1935 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965.
History
Bexley was an ancient parish of Kent, in the Diocese of Rochester, and under the Local Government Act 1894 formed part of Bexley Urban District. The urban district gained further status in 1935 as a municipal borough. Kent County Council formed the second tier of local government during that time. In 1965, London County Council was abolished and replaced by Greater London Council, with an expanded administrative area that took in the metropolitan parts of the Home Counties. Bexley Municipal Borough, Erith Municipal Borough, Crayford Urban District Council and Chislehurst & Sidcup Urban District Council were merged (less areas of Chislehurst and Sidcup that became part of the new London Borough of Bromley) into a new London Borough of Bexley.
Prior to the 19th century the area now forming the Borough was practically unoccupied: very few of the present settlements were mentioned in the Domesday Book, although the village of Bexley has a charter dated 814CE.Erith was a port on the River Thames until the 17th century; the opening of the sewage works at nearby Crossness in the late 19th century turned it into an industrial town.
The MP when the constituency was abolished, the then Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath, fought and won the new Sidcup constituency in 1974. He went on to represent the new seat of Old Bexley and Sidcup from 1983 until he retired from parliament in 2001 after being an MP for 50 years.
'Victorian' Town Halls... what where they originally?
Battersea Arts Centre used to be Battersea Town Hall. Many other town halls are of a similar design... very heavy stone, arches, domes... Abbey Mills in Stratford, London is a Victorian Pumping Station, built to shift sewage as London slopes from South to North. There are a few of these pumping stations supposedly built when Bazelguette fixed London's sewage issue. They bear a remarkable resemblance to town halls.
I think many of these town halls are re purposed functional buildings.
Also, the similarity to Islamic architecture is striking.
