Catford history

The main residential attraction of Catford is the Corbett Estate, built by Archibald Corbett in the late 19th century. This is to be found between Wellmeadow, Hazelbank, Muirkirk, and Brownhill Road (the South Circular). The houses come in various sizes, but all follow a basic design pattern. Another popular area is between Bellingham Road, Thornesbeach, Bromley Road and Culverley Road, where there are wide roads with semi-detached houses mainly from the 1930s.
