Sopley Lane in Bexley Red Zone – Probably named after Sopley in Hampshire. First appears in street directories in 1981.
A tiny amount of information from the library website and I was surprised that the library had information as the larger street that it runs off isn’t mentioned on the library website. As Sopley is on the edge of the New Forest I have probably been here as I did work in the New Forest area a couple of times.
This is another street that I managed to miss on Christmas Day and I went back today to doublecheck. There is no evidence that this street ever existed and the area has been fenced off with asbestos warning signs on the fence. I did manage to find it on maps and and on street view from 2007 it looked like someone’s driveway and there wasn’t a footpath. My photo is the same as what I used for Fordingbridge Lane.
