The Park, otherwise known as Southend Park, was the manor house of Bellingham. It was rebuilt as seen here in the 1790s by a nabob, one of a group of wealthy men who settled in and around Southend late in the eighteenth century. It was being used as a hotel when destroyed by a flying bomb in 1944

Brownhill Road, now an important part of the South Circular, was not created until the late 1870s, when the demolition of Priory Farm made room for it. For the first decade it was only a short cul-de-sac, and until the development of the Corbett Estate began in the late 1890s, houses extended only two or three hundred yards from Rushey Green. These were some of the original 1880s houses. Clerks made up a large proportion of the early residents, but there was also a professional cricketer living here.
