Priory Live - SuburbanStar and Fireworks
Saturday 15 August 2015 brought a fantastic FREE music festival to the historic, Grade II listed Priory Gardens in Orpington, Kent. It was a day of original music played by talented local bands on a beautiful sunny day in front of a good humoured and well-behaved crowd. It ended with a spectacular fireworks display by Knights of Fire, as the sky darkened, with a musical backdrop of a set played by local band SuburbanStar, whose lead singer, Nicky Barclay, was the organiser of this splendid annual event.
Orpington May Queen 2015
On 2 May 2015, Orpington May Queen, Tiggy Hunter-Gilbert, was crowned at 2pm in the historic Priory Gardens in Orpington, which surround The Priory, the oldest building in the borough of Bromley, dating back to the 14th century. It is a Grade II* listed building which is currently under threat of Bromley Council selling it on the open market but the #SaveTheOrpPriory (STOP) campaign group is working to produce a business plan to persuade the Council to make a community asset transfer, so the building can be managed sustainably by a trust. This will retain the ownership with the local authority, whilst keeping this beautiful building for the community.

Bromley is a district of south east London, England, located 9.3 miles south east of Charing Cross. Bromley is the administrative headquarters of the London Borough of Bromley, and identified as a major metropolitan centre in the London Plan.
Bromley was historically a market town chartered since 1158 and an ancient parish in the county of Kent. Its location on a coaching route and the opening of a railway station in 1858 were key to its development, and the economic history of Bromley is underpinned by a shift from an agrarian village to commerce and retail. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Bromley significantly increased in population and was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1903.
Bromley has developed into one of a handful of regionally significant commercial and retail districts outside central London and has formed part of Greater London since 1965. Most of Bromley including the town centre falls under the BR1 postcode district, whereas areas to the west towards Shortlands are part of BR2 instead.
Bromley is located 9.3 miles (15 km) south east of Charing Cross and is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan. Bromley is a post town in the BR postcode area, consisting of BR1 and part of the BR2 postcode district. BR1 covers Bromley, Bickley, Sundridge Park and part of Downham; and the BR2 portion covers Hayes, Shortlands, Bickley and Bromley Common.

Places to see in ( Ashford - UK )
Ashford is a town in the county of Kent, England. Ashford lies on the River Great Stour at the south edge of the North Downs, about 61 miles southeast of central London and 15.3 miles northwest of Folkestone by road. Ashford has been a market town since the 13th century, and a regular market continues to be held.
Ashford has been a communications hub and has stood at the centre of five railway lines since the 19th century. The arrival of the railways became a source of employment and contributed to the town's growth. With the opening of the international passenger station it is now a European communications centre, with new lines running between London and the Channel Tunnel (via High Speed 1). The M20 motorway also links Ashford to those two destinations for road traffic.
The town has been marked as a place for expansion since the 1960s and appeared on several Government plans for growth. Changes have included the County Square shopping centre, the redevelopment of the Templer Barracks at Repton Park, and the award-winning Ashford Designer Outlet. In the 1970s, a controversial ring road scheme and construction of the multi-storey Charter House building destroyed significant parts of the old town, though some areas were spared and preserved.
St Mary's Church in Ashford has been a local landmark since the 13th century, and expanded in the 15th. Today, the church functions in a dual role as a centre for worship and entertainment. Ashford has two grammar schools; the Norton Knatchbull School and Highworth Grammar School.
By road, Ashford is about 61 miles (98 km) southeast of central London, 20.9 kilometres (13.0 mi) southeast of Maidstone, and 15.3 miles (24.6 km) northwest of Folkestone. The town lies at the intersection of two valleys in Kent – the south edge of the North Downs and the valley of the River Stour, at the confluence of the Great Stour and East Stour rivers. This made it an ideal place for a settlement. The Borough of Ashford lies on the eastern edge of the ancient forest of Andredsweald or Anderida. This originally stretched as far west as Hampshire and formed the basis from which the Weald is formed.
St Mary's parish church lies in the town centre. Parts of it date from the 13th century, including a brass of the first rector, Robert de Derby. A Mk. IV tank built in Lincoln and used in World War I was presented to the town on 1 August 1919 to thank the townsfolk for their war efforts. It is situated in St Georges Square near the town centre.
H.S. Pledge & Sons Ltd built two flour mills in Ashford, and became an important employer in the town. The Corn Exchange, situated at the junction of Bank Street and Elwick Road, opened on 3 December 1861. Ashford's main library originally opened in 1966 on a war-damaged site on Church Road. The Ashford Green Corridor is a linear park alongside the two main rivers through the town, which is protected from development by lying on the main flood plain.
