Boundaries
Railway lines, being physical lines, are often conveniently used for administrative boundaries. The railway lines of Chislehurst Junction are used as the boundaries of three electoral wards, and three postcode districts in the BR postcode area, they are, Bickley, BR1 to the west, Chislehurst, BR7 to the north and Petts Wood, BR5 to the southeast; this also makes it the boundary between the two parliament constituencies, of Bromley and Chislehurst to the north and Orpington to the south.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
