Are you sure it was Lewisham High Street? I lived in Lewisham (Loampit

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

Thanks, Clive. I thought it was in Downham Way that they changed. They
only had a very short stretch under the wires before reaching the Grove
Park Station terminus. The 46 and 72 did indeed change at Lee Green, but
my memory (it was a long time ago) had them on the Lewisham side of
Burnt Ash Road rather than the Eltham side.

I was also wrong about the 66, which went from Forest Hill via Brockley
and did not get to Lewisham. I meant the 62 (Blackwall Tunnel to Savoy
St Strand, weekdays only - I always used to wonder who 'St Strand' was).
