Lewisham Archives Catalogue 2000 - 2008 This catalogue was created by the Local History and Archives Centre [LHAC] staff and is a catalogue of the Archives material held at the LHAC. It is an incomplete list of the catalogue, which is being added to constantly, as new material is created, so please check back for new additions. To search the catalogue use the search function in the PDF viewer. Please note this list is of archival material, and access to this material is different from Local History Library material, because the items are unique and need to be preserved. If you require access to this material please contact the LHAC and arrange an appointment, quoting the reference numbers of the items you require. We cannot produce whole large collections and large amounts of material require prior appointment. A member of Archives staff is required to produce material, so please check the availability of the material and Archives staff before visiting. Unfit for Production If an item is marked `Unfit for Production’ this means it is fragile or damaged and it cannot be produced. Please contact LHAC and see how we can help you. LHAC staff may be able to extract any information, or a copy may exist. If the material is very badly damaged and no copy exists access may not be possible. Access Restricted access Some collections are marked `restricted access; contact the LHAC ’. These are collections that are not fully listed. We will try and provide access, but extra security measures will apply and they may require time to prepare, but you will advise you as to time this will take. These listed items are to help you find useful information and are prioritised for full cataloguing by LHAC staff. These items cannot be produced without prior notice, contact the LHAC. Closed Material Some records in the catalogue are closed to public access for a defined period because they include confidential or sensitive personal data. In these instances, the LHAC has given an explicit assurance to the depositor that they will be closed for a specified period to public access. Closed records are identified in the ‘Access’ field, and when it will be open is given in the catalogue entry.

Introduction For Roland Moyle’s parliamentary career and his other constituency correspondence see A/93/12. These files deal with his part in campaigns against proposed motorways. The Dover Radial Route, planned by the London County Council, would have gone through Blackheath. Ringway 1 and Ringway 2 were planned by the Greater London Council in its draft Greater London Development Plan of 1969. Ringway 1 would have gone through Blackheath, Lewisham and New Cross; Ringway 2 through Grove Park, Downham and Beckenham. The Blackheath Motorways Action Group was affiliated to the London Motorways Action Group. In turn, many local residents’ associations and other organisations were affiliated to B-MAG. The Grove Park Motorway Action Group was affiliated to the Homes Before Motorways Action Group (with others along the route of Ringway 2). Revised proposals in 1972 would have moved Ringway 1 from Blackheath to Deptford.
