Royal Parade, Chislehurst
It is unusual to see Royal Parade without cars but this was just after eight o,clock in the morning before the shops had opened. The 'Royal' refers to Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (1808 – 1873) who was the President of the French Second Republic and as Napoleon III, the ruler of the Second French Empire. He was the nephew and heir of Napoleon I. Elected President by popular vote in 1848, he initiated a coup d'état in 1851, before ascending the throne as Napoleon III in 1852. After defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, Napoleon spent the last few years of his life in exile in England, with his wife Eugenie and their only son. The family lived at Camden Place Chislehurst, where he died on 9th January 1873.
