Place Name
A street leading off the main Selsdon Road. The name Selsdon was first recorded sometime around AD880 as Selesdune this was named after a Saxon – or possibly a Jute – landholder and meaning Seli’s Hill. An alternative suggestion is that it comes from the Old English words sele meaning a dwelling or hall and dūn meaning hill. It was being spelt as Selysdon in 1247 and Sellesdon in 1286.
