Background
History
Widmore derives from 'Withmere', a placename first mentioned in 1226 and thought to mean 'pool where the withy grows'. Wythemere, Widmere and Wigmore were variant spellings. The local landowner John Wells sold part of the land lying north of Widmore Road to housing developers in 1845, and by the late 1850s the area contained some 40 large properties, plus a number of smaller cottages. Further building work occurred in this area in 1888. The lands south of Widmore Road were historically part of Bromley Palace, but were built over with further housing in the 1920s-30s. Widmore today has merged completely with the surrounding suburbs and is often seen as part of Bickley.
