Rushey Green, Catford, Lewisham, c. 1910

Rushey Green is the southern continuation of Lewisham High Street.

The house behind the tree to the right (Lulworth) dates from the early 19th century and was occupied by Henry Munro, Surgeon, one of a concentration of doctors in this group of houses. The tram line was electrified in 1906.
