In front of the 18th century Swan Inn there stood, until 1935, a great elm called the "Stocks Tree", marking the centre of the old village of West Wickham - at the point once known as Norwood Cross. The High Street extends to the left, in the photo, while in Station Road, just to the right of the Swan, stands the Post Office.

Beccehamian Rugby Football Club was formed in 1933 as Old Beccehamian RFC by former pupils of Beckenham County School for Boys. Now an open club but still drawing many new members from Langley Park School, the club has three full-size pitches at Sparrow's Den, and features ladies and mini-rugby as well as senior men's teams.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A gnarled and venerable specimen ([[[2867411]]]). It has been encroached upon by suburbia. One hopes the health and safety zealots don't get their hands on it.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Always a noble sight and surely enough to put a spring in anyone's step. Specimens such as these in the garden of a normal suburban house suggest the area was built on the grounds of a big house.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking northwest towards the centre of West Wickham. This part of Corkscrew Hill is straight - the 'corkscrew' bit begins further up.

Dist:0.4km<br/>West Wickham's fire station opened in July 1939 in Glebe Way, as a sub station of Beckenham Fire Brigade. It was transferred from the Kent A Division to the Greater London Council in 1965, and closed in March 1968. Afterwards it became first a caravan showroom, then a secondhand furniture warehouse.
