Photos of Orpington

Once in a while, I like to take a camera and the dog for a walk and photograph the area in which we live.

See the Orpington History page for older photographs of the area.

Coal Posts

In our travels around the Orpington area, we have managed to find and photograph all the local Coal Posts (or more correctly ‘Coal and Wine Tax Posts’), which date from the 1850’s.

More information and photos of the local Coal Posts are on the Coal Posts page.
