The report was commissioned by Land Use Consultants. There has been no archaeological work on or in the vicinity of the site. Evidence of past landuse has been derived from documentary and cartographic resources. It is probable that the north-east corner of the park lay in the vicinity of the ‘lost’ medieval village of Rombergh. Thereafter the site has largely been open pasture. Mountsfield House was built there in the 1840s and, since 1905, it has been a park. The principal impact of the proposed works will involve the construction of a new pavilion which could include toilets, changing rooms, café, park ranger station, bowls club, storage space and a room for hire. This new facility is likely to be placed over the site of Mountsfield House. It is recommended that any ground investigations be monitored by an archaeologist. 1 p:\lewi\1089\na\field\dba02.doc Mountsfield Park, SE6, Archaeological Assessment @ MOLAS CONTENTS 1 Introduction 4 1.1 Site location 4 1.2 Site status 4 1.3 Origin and scope of the report 4 1.4 Aims and objectives 6 1.5 Methodology 7 1.6 Proposed development summary 7 2 Planning and legislative framework 8 2.1 Planning policy guidance (PPG16) 8 2.2 Archaeology and planning in Lewisham 9 3 Background: archaeological and historical 11 3.1 Introduction 11 3.2 Geology and topography 11 3.3 Archaeological and historical summary 12 3.3.1 Prehistoric 12 3.3.2 Roman 12 3.3.3 Medieval 12 3.3.4 Post-medieval–modern 13 4 Archaeological potential 25 4.1 Factors determining archaeological potential 25 4.1.1 Natural geology 25 4.1.2 Present land use 25 4.1.3 Earlier (post-medieval–modern) buildings 25 4.1.4 Depth of archaeological deposit 25 4.2 Archaeological potential 25 2 p:\lewi\1089\na\field\dba02.doc Mountsfield Park, SE6, Archaeological Assessment @ MOLAS 4.2.1 Prehistoric 26 4.2.2 Roman 26 4.2.3 Medieval 26 4.2.4 Post-medieval–modern 26 4.3 Research objectives 26 5 Impact of proposals 27 6 Conclusions and recommendations 27 7 Acknowledgements. 27 8 Bibliography 28 8.1 Site specific 28 8.2 General 28 Fig 1 Site location. 5 Fig 2 Detail from the Parish of Lewisham Tithe Map, 1843 (originally drawn with south at the top).

It is bounded on the west by houses fronting on to Laleham Road, to the south by houses fronting on to Brownhill Road, on the east by Stainton Road and to the north by George Lane and houses fronting on to Davenport Road. The centre of the park lies at Ordnance Survey National Grid reference 538445 173953. Within this report the area is known as ‘the site’ (Fig 1). 1.2 Site status This document has been prepared in support of an application for planning consent. There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments or Listed Buildings within or near to, the site. The site is not a registered historic park or garden or registered battlefield, as defined by English Heritage. The site does not lie within an Archaeological Priority Zone (APZ), or a Conservation Area, as defined by the Borough of Lewisham. The nearest APZ, centred on the historic core of Lewisham town, lies to the west of Laleham Road. There have been no archaeological excavations within the site, or in the near vicinity. 1.3 Origin and scope of the report This report has been commissioned from the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) by Land Use Consultants. It has been requested in advance of possible redevelopment of the site (see sections 1.6 and 5) and may be required in relation to the planning process in order that the local authority can formulate appropriate responses in the light of any identified archaeological resource. The desk-based assessment (Archaeological Assessment) has been carried out in accordance with the model brief published by the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service, and in accordance with the standards specified by the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA 2001). Under the ‘Copyright, Designs and Patents Act’ 1988 MoLAS retains the copyright to this document. Note: within the limitations imposed by dealing with historical material and maps, the information in this document is, to the best knowledge of the author and MoLAS, correct at the time of writing. Further archaeological investigation, more information about the nature of the present buildings, and/or more detailed proposals for redevelopment may require changes to all or parts of the document. 4 p:\lewi\1089\na\field\dba02.doc ©MoLAS 2005 52 1 Driving Test 4 8 23 Ha B St Swithun'sChurch Centre M ll Work 9 12 2 Lewisham Park 16.5m 50 13 5. 29.9m 28 Resettlement m Centre 11 El Sub Sta 14.0m 2 6 Vicarage 13 1 31 Cooling 191 ST SWITHUN'S ROAD BM 15.11m 8 N Station 6 1 66 15 1 35 33 N 9 2 0 2 2 1 15.5m 15 7 1 0 2 24 LEWISHAM PARK Club 6 2 25.6m 193 17.0m 4 El Sub Sta El Sub Sta 5 4 1 44 7 o 55 53 1 t 55 7 Ho 21 10 49 to 53 lm 47 20 hurs 39 LI BM 18.71m 14 9 to 16 8 2 3 TT to 6 31 199 t LE ROAD 34 LANIER 8 3 W Works 6 O 4 9 Club 2 O 1 to 8 Ho D LANIER 22.9m ROAD 5 1 llyden 3 7 to 2 to 1 75 73 4 6 0 4 8 2 3 25 1 29.6m e 27 Mountfield Court 3 0 5 E 2 36 8 3 2 4 YC 19 2 AD t 5 o BM 25.30m 23 3 RD 2 RO BEACON ROAD FO 24 4 1 26 BM 2 2 Warehouse 7.19m RA 34 8 99 97 44 104 DF 19 15 26.5m 1 ORD RO Church 205 14.6m 136 11 6 126 Hi 116 llc Ardm 1 re AD 23 Ch st 106 27.4m 207 46 urch 2 Primary School er ARDMERE ROAD 5 2 94 e C 48a 82 12 06 2 1 to 6 70 5 48 1 to 8 o t ot 58 101 Theodore 0 1 141 24 0 tage 6 Hither Green Court 2 TCB 15.2m Croft Court THEODORE ROAD 32 12 23.5m 7 s LB MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD 1 17.1m 1 1 3 8 0 BM 16.34m 2 35 1 0 1 Schoolkeeper's 9 9 15 2 8 7 House 7 3 29.6m 6 1 5 5 LB 4 5 3 BM 212 2 9 29.6m 2a 1 to 1 2 54 21 4. 2 211 08 1 4 1 m 2 56 53 W AL 8 58 75 65 ar 6 21 1 D lin 2 4 WORTH GRO 538400/174300 gh 3 115 60 am 0 2 BR 2 C 151 62 BM ou rt 30 64 139 .28 223 VE 127 49 m 62 64 117 37 222 113 27.1m 87 153 68 101 0 10km 25 30.5mLondon Borough of Lewisham 89 23.4m 5 13 4 13 LB SPRINGRICE ROAD 140 73 Boro Const and Ward Bdy 1 46 the site 18.5m CR 1 2 59 6 235 12 GEORGE LANE 2 23 16 2 45 47 8 1 2 1 29.9m 0 1 15 BM 29.71m MALLET 9 0 SPRINGRICE 1 ROAD 4 15.8m 99 78 R 15.1m 102 29.6m 245 6 64 BM 16.46m GE 2 221 5 2 108 OR 40 to 163 8 2 1 GE 0 a b 4 6 6 2 2 2 4 LARA CLOSE LANE 257 13 2 165 4 m 1 5 8 1 HITHER GREEN LANE 19 7 7. 2 tre 269 BM en h C h Garage 9 271 a 0 2 2 2 29.8m alabas 8 1 171 209 26.5m e C e Th 158 285 183 195 173 183 287 161 1 8 151 4 GEORGE LANE 139 1 7 127 2 1 3 115 0 31.7m 1 6 103 2 1 7 1 6 4 0 91 1 1 31 43 8 1 79 to 55 67 6 BM 22.45m 1 0 6 DAVENPORT ROAD 96 8 4 8 0 89 133 6 6 6 2 C Bo 5 19 0 R ro 5 1 1 to 6 6 2 Con 36 3 0 6 8 4 56 15 st a Tennis 1 Court nd 34 1 t 106 War o 6 1 d 3 0 Bd 131 y 75 6 1 t 18 140 o 6 54 3 OAKLEY DRIVE 1 73 1 t 1 121 o 6 20 52 11 32.6m 104 96 Bowling Green 50 Hither Green 130 58 El Sub Sta 46 LULLIN Hospital 32 63 Mountsfield Park S 94 G 169 TA RO ST INTO 109 1 O AD 0 ROSENTHAL ROAD 8 NE El Sub Sta LB D Fn LALE N LANE 38 H 19 GROVE AM 6 3 RE 5 3 84 51 R 4 3 Mountsfield Park MO 31 O AD PC 82 SYCA 122 28 97 9 6 OAD 15 R 45 5 EY 24 74 CLOSE FARL HIGHFIELD HE 1 to 6 72 AT HE 43 4 68 R 85 8 37 4 2 14 8 108 14 2e The 33.2m 81 3 8 Lodge 69 2d 55 8 Tennis Courts 18.6m BM 19.40m 2 8 43 c 82 b 8 2a 82 Tennis Courts 7 FARLEY ROAD 6 16.9m 14 6 Mountsfield Park 1 10 7 4 Tank 6 2 1 to 6 1 5 0 3 3 64 8 2 6 20 26 5 3 3 3 96 12 9 18 34.0m HO 5 SPI TAL WA Playing Field Y 10 87 86 75 El Sub Sta 63 49 117 37 19.3m 88 HONLEY ROAD 8 4 2 2 84 8 8 6 5 1 92 7 4 5 8 HEATHER CLOSE 11a 4 6 TCB 3 4 10 5 11 to 1 LB 94 72 C 102 1 U D H A 2 El Sub Sta M S 93 114 TR El Sub Sta TH 5 EET 5 E W THE WOODLANDS 35.2m 124 OODL Mountsfield Park 57 134 to 142 ANDS 58 STAI 74 to 79 47 7 107 1 95 81 NTON 83 71 61 144 59 73 Playing Field 26 to 62 1 BM 20.60m R 19.8m OA 67 CARSWELL ROAD D RINGSTEAD ROAD 60 1 1 0 79 PH Mountsfield Park 55 66 9 8 MOUNTFIELD CLOSE 7 8 6 154 3 4 7 TCB 9 6 2 1 t 1 7 o 6 o 1 35 4 54 THE WOODLANDS 1 3 Shelter 2 a 2 21 71 THE WOODLANDS 5 2 1 1 9 o 24 4 t 6 6 2 0 19 t o 2 7 5 52 6a 54 7 4 8 5 6 6 3 2 to 1 26 to 3 19.2mOAD 1 3 8 33.3m R MEWS 59 2 NE HAM Playground 0 LE 9 UR 3 56 LA BO 46 1 3 El Sub Sta 3 El Sub Sta 12 MEL 34 40 30 to 35 36 to 41 42 to 47 48 to 53 3 54 to 59 18 1 47 73 14 11 15 CR 85 REDFERN ROAD Bo ro Con 95 2 m 17.6m BRITTON CLOSE st a 62 105 nd 279 W 115 ard 4 0 5 BM 19.

    3. BOROUGH WIDE ANALYSIS 3 BOROUGH WIDE ANALYSIS 3.1 TOPOGRAPHY 3.1.1 The topography of Lewisham has played a vital role in influencing the way in which the borough has developed. 3.1.2 The natural topography is principally defined by the valley of the Ravensbourne and Quaggy rivers which run north to south through the centre and join at Lewisham before flowing northwards to meet the Thames at Deptford. The north is characterised by the flat floodplain of the River Thames. 3.1.3 The topography rises on the eastern and western sides, the higher ground forming an essential Gently rising topography part of the borough's character. The highest point to the southwest of the borough is at Forest Hill (105m). The highest point to the southeast is Grove Park Cemetery (55m). Blackheath (45m) and Telegraph Hill (45m) are the highest points to the north. 3.1.4 The dramatic topography allows for elevated views from within the borough to both the city centre and its more rural hinterland. High points offer panoramas towards the city 42 Fig 18 Topography 2m 85m LEWISHAM CHARACTERISATION STUDY December 2018 43 3.2 GEOLOGY 3.2.1 The majority of the borough is underlain by the Thames Group rock type which consists mostly of the London Clay Formation. 3.2.2 To the north, the solid geology is Upper Chalk overlain by Thanet Sand. The overlying drift geology is gravel and alluvium. The alluvium has been deposited by the tidal flooding of the Thames and the River Ravensbourne. River deposits are also characteristic along the Ravensbourne.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

  • Lewisham May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Lewisham May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Lewisham 1 1. Pepys Park 2. Deptford park 3. Sayes Court Park 2 4.

  • LCT Update 120521
    UPDATE MAY 12, 2021 1 SUMMARY Between 2018 and the end of 2021, the London Cricket Trust will have overseen the installation of 61 non-turf pitches and 13 net facilities across the capital. In Phases 1 and 2, in 2018 and 2019, 36 non-turf pitches and four net facilities were created and 66 cricket starter-kits were donated to primary and high schools. In Phase 3, in 2020, running into 2021, and Phase 4, in 2021, a further 25 NTP’s and nine net facilities will be completed and available for use. In this process, LCT has emerged as a lean, focused organisation through which the four county boards - Essex, Kent, Middlesex and Surrey - work eficiently and effectively not only together but also in conjunction with the ECB, measurably increasing cricket participation in the capital. Advantage Sports Management (ASM) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the LCT, reporting to the four trustees, identifying potential sites and regularly checking each venue, ensuring maintenance, maximising participation. ASM deals on a daily basis with county boards, ECB, councils, park management, schools, clubs, other cricket organisations and members of the public. ASM undertakes this significant volume of work pro bono, and receives an annual contribution towards expenses from each of the four counties. 1 THE LONDON CRICKET TRUST Putting cricket back into London’s parks 2 Index PHASE 1 (2018) and PHASE 2 (2019) maintenance report PAGE 4 PHASE 3 (2020) maintenance report and update PAGE 10 PHASE 4 (2021) update PAGE 17 PHASE 5 (2022) proposals PAGE 18 LCT WEBSITE PAGE 19 ACTIVATION plans PAGE 20 3 PHASE 1 (2018) and PHASE 2 (2019) AVERY HILL PARK Local Authority Greenwich County Kent LCT Facility 1 x NTP Completion date 2018 Most recent ASM site visit 21.04.21 The NTP is in decent condition and the outfield has also been maintained.

  • Green Spirit -Glendale's Spring 2011 Newsletter.Pub
    Issue 5 The Previous 10-Year Partnership by Molly Hingston Summer 2011 Glendale’s partnership with the London Borough of Lewisham has attracted national recognition for putting parks and open spaces at the heart of local communities. A unique combination of proven green expertise, investment, innovation and accountability successfully met the challenge to revitalise Lewisham’s green spaces. The following highlights some of the achievements and successes of the previous 10-year partnership; 2000 In the year 2000, the partnership between the Borough of Lewisham and Glendale began by a unique private finance initiative investment scheme. Over a three-year period Lewisham received a £1.5m investment from Glendale to finance improvements to parks and green spaces. One of the projects included a £340,000 investment at Chinbrook Meadows to develop the sports pavilion, playground and cricket pitch. 2001 The following year, 2001, Lewisham was awarded the ‘London in Bloom’ award for the ‘Most improved Borough’. The first ever catering facility in the parks opened at Manor House Gardens. Investments were also made in other parks across the Borough; from footpaths to fencing, park signs to toilets and bridges ‘Pistachios in the Park ‘at Manor House Gardens to paddling pools. 2002 A section of the River Quaggy was returned to its natural state in 2002 as part of a £1.2m regeneration project of Chinbrook Meadows. The scheme was the culmination of an innovative partnership between Groundwork, London Borough of Lewisham, Environment Agency and Glendale. A bedding memorial was created in Deptford Park to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. 2003 2003 saw the first Lewisham Walking Festival and the first Farmers’ Market which was held in Manor House Gardens.
