Elmers End history

---

The name Elmers End was probably from the Aylmer family marking the Southern ‘end’ of the land, local landowners in the 13th century. But this has been claimed to be false as The Aylmers family’s clan rarely left the Great North Wood area, which took up most of Norwood and Crystal Palace.

Upper Elmers End

Upper Elmers End was once a small hamlet distinct from the town proper . The hamlet was the site of a brewery, which was converted into Kempton’s bakery in the 1930s .
