Nore View Crescent was a circular road, which was once part of Langdon Hills, not too far from Lee Chapel Lane.
In that circle stood Nore View, a very impressive house built in the 1890’s. The house only last for around 40 years as it was destroyed by fire in 1938.
It is thought that Nore View got it’s name because it’s position high on Langdon Hills gave it a view of the lightship near the Nore sandbank in the mouth of the Thames Estuary.
I have also been told that Nore View was part of a racetrack that was going to be built in the area before the idea was abandoned.
