Catford
is now firmly centred on the town hall and
the shopping precinct, but in 1877 that part
was still usually known as Rushey (or Rushy)
Green.
The town hall ('Bd. Of Wks.' on the map) was
then two years old. The name 'Catford' was
used for the area to the west, around the
bridge and mill.
In Rushey Green the development was still
mainly restricted to the enclosed common land
west of the main road.
Otherwise the main feature was the luxury
estate of Ravensbourne Park, which was laid
out in the 1820s.
