- How St Mary Cray on the edge of London and Kent has changed, 1982 to 2023
In the 1980s I was very concerned about the number of old buildings disappearing so I photographed parts of Orpington, Kent and London to create a record. I mainly focused on listed and locally listed buildings as well as anything else that was interesting or looked like it was about to be demolished.
I photographed parts of St Mary Cray in 1982. So who remembers when the police station was still in operation, the Mary Rose Restaurant, the scrap yard and even the Cray Valley Dairy milk floats? Also, covers St Mary's Church and Survey House.
Well I have come back in 2023 to see what has happened.
I will cover location, some history and context, look at some old maps and have a good look at the 1982 photos.
Please stay to the end to for all the detail.
I hope you enjoy, please like and subscribe.

Broke my arm climbing the wall church coming home from the star pub new years eve 1987.. left in 1993 . Never been back since. Thanks for the blast from The past. 👍 😉
great vid
I was born here in 1961 and we left in 1972. Fond memories of fishing for Sticklebacks in the River Cray.
The old building at 16:23 was where I used to go into when I was a kid with my mum when we went to the High Street to get shopping, at that time it was where we used to go to pay for our coal delivery, and even then I was fascinated by how small it was inside with low ceilings. The police station I once had to go into to do a "producer" as they needed to see my driving licence, I cannot recall why though! Great work, thanks for this glimpse into my past!
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed!
I lived in St Paul's Cray until a few years ago and I actually thought that police station was still in use.
Certainly there was often police cars in the area, I guess they just liked to hang out there!
Star lane very famous for housing The Krays mother St Mary Cray
My friend use to live near the paper mill opposite the athelics track which belonged to the girls school in Grays farm rd.
They then buit a smaller school on the grass track.
