If it helps at all there was no settlement at Petts Wood before 1929 - no houses. It was a farming and forestry area. Housing  development began there in 1929. Bromley is another matter - it is an old town and so is Orpington. Petts Wood is between them but it is so relatively speaking obscure that it is most clearly the place you want. Cool
This URL will tell the story - there was no pub there before 1935!
