The Area Today
Since early 2006 several parts of Addiscombe have been in the process of extensive regeneration, notably the addition of housing to the site of the former Black Horse Pub (which is thought by some to be the oldest site of a pub in the borough) and the demolition of church buildings in Bingham Road in order to renovate the church halls and provide luxury retirement apartments. The old Bingham Road railway station was demolished several years ago was to make way for the new tramlink line. The station achieved fame in the opening scenes of the 1960 Tony Hancock film "The Rebel". The addition of Addiscombe Railway Park along the disused railway line between Blackhorse Lane tram stop, Morland Road and Lower Addiscombe Road will further regenerate the area.
