Little and Lesnes Hundred
[8] The hundred existed since ancient times, before the Domesday Book of 1086,[2] until it was made obsolete with the creation of new districts at the end of the nineteenth century.[4] Today the area that was the Hundred of Little and Lesnes is suburban London, covering the northeast corner of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the northern part of the London Borough of Bexley, with the River Thames to the north, and Watling Street to the south; and roughly centred on the area of Abbey Wood.From west to east, stations that were constructed on the line were: Plumstead, Abbey Wood, Belvedere and Erith.Slade Green railway station was also opened on the line in 1900 to the east of Erith, but the hundred was obsolete by that time.Little and Lesnes along with most other hundreds became obsolete at the end of the nineteenth century when new districts were created following the Local Government Act 1888.The western half of Little and Lesnes Hundred containing the Plumstead and East Wickham parishes became part of the County of London in 1889.
