Summary edit
| Description |
English: Poverest Coronation Hall. This "tin tabernacle" was built in 1892. It was originally Fordcroft Mission Hall (Ford Croft is the name given on the 1920 OS map for a small community here dating from the late 19th century, presumably for local paper mill workers, predating the Orpington bypass built in the 1920s and the post war development of the Poverest estate.
"Tin tabernacle" is the nickname for buildings such as this, mainly originally churches and mission halls, built out of corrugated iron in the late 19th/early 20th century. Until 1953, the building was owned by Orpington Baptist Church. In that year (hence the name) it was purchased from them for £700, raised locally with help from Allied Bakeries in nearby Cray Avenue (see 724931). It is now a community hall, run by a non-profit trust. |
