In 1888, Sidcup was a small rural village located in the county of Kent, just outside of London. It was primarily an agricultural area, with farming being the main occupation of the local residents. The village had a population of just over 500 people, and most of the residents were working-class families.

One of the most significant historical places of interest in the area was the Halfway House Inn, which had been established in the early 18th century as a coaching inn. It was a popular destination for travelers passing through the area, as well as locals who enjoyed its rustic charm and cozy atmosphere.

Another notable location was Perry Street, a residential area that had developed around the Halfway House Inn. It was a quiet, picturesque street lined with charming cottages and small shops, and it had become a popular destination for day-trippers from London who were looking for a peaceful retreat from the city.
