Summary

Anerley: Anerley Road This unremarkable road, which is part of the A214, runs from an end-on junction with Anerley Hill at the 'Paxton Arms', for almost a mile southeast to its crossroads with the A213, where used to stand, but is no more, a large public house known as the 'Robin Hood', see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Robin_Hood_pub,_Anerley_-_geograph.org.uk_-_39395.jpg" title="File:Robin Hood pub, Anerley - geograph.org.uk - 39395.jpg">39395</a>. This pub was a local point of reference, so that certain buses would display 'Anerley, Robin Hood' on their blinds. The origin of the district name Anerley is of some interest. Many, many years ago, before railways or even canals, a certain Scotsman built a farm here. He could see no other habitation from his farm, so he gave it the name 'Aneley' - Scottish for 'lonely'. Not so aneley now.
