Welling
Welling is a town in the London Borough of Bexley approximately 10.5 miles (16.9 km) east-southeast of Charing Cross, the traditional centre of London. Welling is in the historic county of Kent. ==History== The East Wickham part of Welling is probably one of the oldest settlements in this area. A Neolithic stone axe was found in East Wickham in 1910 and a bit more recently in 1989 the remains of Roman buildings were unearthed near Danson. Before the coming of the railway, with the opening of the Bexleyheath Line on 1 May 1895,〔http://www.bexley.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=10666〕 Welling was a village on the main road between London and Kent (Watling Street). It had been a traditional staging post for coaches; the presence of three inns along the main road is the result of that. After World War I, Bexley Urban District Council built over 400 houses north of the railway. Later, when the Danson estate was sold to developers, the land to the south was opened up to suburban sprawl and the settlement incorporated the local parishes of St Michael's East Wickham and St Johns Welling
