Lewisham High Street, Lewisham, c. 1870

Lewisham High Street, Lewisham, c. 1870

This part of the High Street was in the last throes of the transition from residential to commercial as there were still some private houses left just to the left of the Lion and Lamb public house. Note the recently built terrace (right) that Chiesman's were later to dominate.

This view looks north along the High Street at its junction with Lee High Road.

The height of the High Pavement along which flowed the River Quaggy is apparent.
