The photographer's notes state: 'Mantelpiece in the small bedroom, south of the N.W. bedroom (No. 12I), 1st floor. Over the south part of the lounge'. [The north-west bedroom to which he is referring can be seen in BB71/08563]
The house was built around 1790 and until 1832 it was known as Palace Green House. Between 1832 and the late 1860s it was called Sidcup House before it was renamed again, this time as Manor House. From 1911 until the start of the Second World War the house was used as a school. In 1939 it became a nursing home and was used as such until it was sold to the Chislehurst and Sidcup Urban District Council in 1950. It now serves as the Registry Office for the borough of Bexley.
