In 1827, a Scottish silk manufacturor named William Sanderson bought land on the former Penge Common[citation needed], which had, only that year, been enclosed by an act of Parliament[citation needed]. The act also stipulated that a 50 feet (15 metres) wide, new road was to be set out from Elmers End Road to what is now Church Road, Upper Norwood[citation needed]. In the same year he built the first house in the area, which he named "Anerly", a Scottish word meaning "solitary" or "only"[citation needed], and the road subsequently became known as Anerley Road. William Sanderson's name is the first to appear in the first rate book, dated 18 June 1827, now held in the Anerley Town Hall[citation needed]. With the demise of the local government ward of Anerley, the name Anerley is mainly applied to the area in the proximity of the railway station, to the top of Anerley Hill Road and down to the Birkbeck station border divide with London and Kent. The SE20 London postal district was officially named Anerley but covered Anerley, Penge and parts of Beckenham.
