Ibsley Lane in Bexley Red Zone – Probably named after Ibsley in Hampshire. First appears in street directories in 1977. A tiny amount of information from the library website and it is definitely named after Ibsley in Hampshire. I found an article from 1978 where some councillors were objecting to street names. Councillor W J A Brittenden who had put forward several of the names being objected to said that they were all names from delightful villages in the New Forest area. I also found one death notice and a few ads on Papers Past. The ads said that the street ran off Mitcham Place which is why I went looking for the street. The street isn’t on any maps but I eventually found it on an old map from the 1980s. It is only because I was looking at Papers Past for Mitcham Place that I found this street. The area where the street used to be is well and truly fenced off.
