From Bromley directories:-
1903-1937:   17 & 19 Widmore Road, Adye William, tailor (& hosier in 1903-1916)
1933-1937:   17 Widmore Road, Adye Jas. Edwd
1924-1937:   21 Wanstead Road, Adye William
1910:      Cyphers Cricket Club Ground, King's Hall Road, Beckenham, Charles W. Adye, hon sec., 64 King's Hall Road
1905-1910:   64 King's Hall Road, Adye, Edward
1909:      12 Chaffinch Road, Adye, Eaton H

No entries in 1900.

Wanstead Rd is off Widmore Road, probaby William's home address.
King's Hall Road and Chaffinch Road are in Beckenham.
Cyphers closed 20 or 30 years ago.

The above are from a subset of Bromley directories I downloaded from the Bromley Library website before they got lost in recent cuts. The Local Studies Library has other years, including after 1937, and I'll look when I'm there next. You may find more Bromley references in the Kent directories on the Historical Directories website. If the Beckenham people are of interest, I can look them up too.
Researching Penge, Anerley, (including the Crystal Palace) and neighbouring parts of Beckenham, currently in London (Bromley), formerly Surrey and/or Kent.
