Aynscombe Angle, Orpington

This street is named after Aynscombe House which used to stand on the corner of the road where it met the current High Street. The inclusion of the word "Angle" presumably refers to the shape of the road (it in fact has two sections - the one in this picture (and also TQ4666 : Aynscombe Angle, Orpington), which then meets the other section (see TQ4666 : Aynscombe Angle, Orpington) at a right angle, at the T junction visible at the far end. The houses consist of these interesting terraced cottages: these ones are on the east side of the road. The "arts and crafts" style houses were designed by the architect George St Pierre Harris.
