Are you sure it was Lewisham High Street? I lived in Lewisham (Loampit
Hill) all through the war, and I am sure that the Grove Park bound
trams (52 & 54, also 58 to Victoria via Dulwich) did not change over
until further south, certainly beyond the Town Hall where the 66 & 74
from Southend Lane joined them. The Beresford Square bound trams (46 &
72) changed at Lee Green on Lee High Road.

I've just checked a 1932 tramway track plan. Starting at the river and
going clockwise, the change pits we
[36, 38, 40] Woolwich High Street immediately east of the ferry
[46, 72] Eltham Road immediately east of Burnt Ash Road
[52, 54, 74] Downham Way immediately east of Bromley Road
[16, 18] Streatham High Road at Gleneagle Road
[6] London Road just south of Southcroft Road
[2, 4] Tooting High Street just north of Longley Road
[14] Wimbledon Road / Plough Lane intersection
[26, 28, 30] Putney Bridge Road just north of West Hill
[9, 19] Archway Road immediately north of Archway Tavern
[21, 29, 41, 51, 71] Green Lanes immediately north of Seven Sisters Rd
[27, 53, 59, 79] Seven Sisters Rd immediately east of Green Lanes
[53] Oamhurst Park immediately west of Stamford Hill
[49, 71] Stamford Hill immediately north of Oamhurst Park
[55, 57, 81] Lea Bridge Road immediately east of Upper Clapton Road
[77] Well Street immediately east of Ware Street
[61, 63] Mile End Road immediately east of Grove Road[*]
[77] Burdett Road immediately north of Commercial Road [+]
[65, 67] East India Dock Road just west of the Iron Bridge, some
distance east of Aberfeldy Street
[*] An eastbound tram could change to overhead and then reverse while on
the overhead and turn north into Grove Road, then either continue to
Well Street or reverse again and run south on Burdett Road.
[+] I believe this is only for the connection on to Commercial Road. The
77 continued south to terminate a short distance later on West India
Dock Road; presumably it did so on overhead.
