Post 1950

During the second world war a number of properties in Lewisham Park were damaged by bombing. After the war the council required land for housing and began purchasing properties in Lewisham Park and constructed Plummer Court in 1955. The council continued to purchase properties and in the mid sixties knocked down all 10 houses along the west side of Lewisham Park to be replaced in the mid 60's by the 3 tower blocks Malling, Kemsley and Bregedar. By the 1980's the council owned all the properties in Lewisham Park apart from numbers 31-52.
