Roundel Close
I can't help wondering if this bit of land in Brockley used to be used by London Transport, and if so, what for. TIA. |

I'm not aware of any particular LT connection to that land, nor is anything of the sort readily apparent when one travels along Adelaide Avenue. Searching the web throws up nothing, as does searching LB Lewisham's website. All I found on the latter was a somewhat incomplete "New Highway Register" document - incomplete as it hardly has any dates of adoption of these new highways, and some of them aren't so new having been adopted as far back as in 1972 (though of course what is "new" is relative and I can hardly criticise the document as I've no idea what the context is!). Anyway this document has a notes/comments column but there's no entry there in relation to Roundel Close. Of marginal interest in this document is the fact that the council maintains Bridge House Meadows footpath (and presumably the surrounding green space) "under agreement with London Underground Ltd" - for this is to be the path of phase 2 of the ELLX (if and when that ever happens if anyone can find any spare change given the cash that Crossrail demands), and was indeed in the past the course of a railway in long gone days. Just interesting to note that LUL already owns the required land. See http://tinyurl.com/27cfr2 - note this is a PDF file. |

Couldn't you ask this same question about every road in the world? Yes, but it seems sensible to start with the ones whose names connote connections to London Transport. Like Crowgallows Street in the City, for example. tom -- Gin makes a man mean; let's booze up and riot! |
