Hi
Does anyone know of a reason why so many people from Suffolk were moving to Bromley in Kent c 1890.
Thanks

Most people were moving because of employment  too many people not enough jobs
most employment was agricultural in Suffolk and a want to better themselves may have been a factor,
My own rellies came down to work in warehouses ending up in Greenwich not far from Bromley Kent
