Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham coat of arms

Lee High Road (1900s) The Manor of Lee was a historic parish of the Blackheath hundred and existed up to 1900 when it was merged with the parish of Lewisham to create the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham. While modern Lee is centred on Lee railway station and the road of Burnt Ash Hill, the parish was based around Lee High Road which today stretches into the town centre of Lewisham. The River Quaggy formed much of the boundary between the two parishes, though at Lee Bridge (at the western end of Lee High Road) it is now almost completely hidden.

Lewisham market (1911) Lewisham market began in 1906 and is today one of a handful of six-day markets in London. The photo was taken from the southern end, looking north towards Avenue Road (Romer Avenue), now replaced by the main entrance to the Lewisham Centre. In 1944, Lewisham Market was bombed by a V1 rocket which landed 100 yards from the Clock Tower and killed 56 people, injured 99 and demolished part of the High Street shops.
