Senegal Road, SE16

Senegal Road disappeared under the New Den football ground.

The area around Senegal Road suffered considerable bomb damage during the Second World War.

By the early 1950s many of the voids had been filled with post war detached houses. By the 1960s more Victorian terraces were demolished and the site was cleared of all homes in the early 1970s. This gave way for playing fields and areas known as Senegal Fields.

The Surrey Canal was filled in in the 1970s and became Surrey Canal Road in the 1980s. In 1992 Millwall Football Club moved into the New Den, replacing the original Den.
