Dacres Road, along with Mayow Road, Wynell Road and Adamsrill Road, is named after the family that once owned the land.

In the 1770s a vast estate, extending from Sydenham Road to Perry Vale and bordered on either side by the present Mayow Road and Dacres Road/Silverdale, was bought by Mayow Wynell Mayow. His daughter married William Dacres Adams and their son, who inherited the estate, was Mayow Wynell Adams.

Originally farmland, building began during the 1870s. At this time several fields were made available to create the Sydenham & Forest Hill Recreation Ground (now Mayow Park, and don't forget to vote).

And you're right, Brian, Silverdale was a later addition.
