Brindishe pupils use 1745 map to devise possible names for the Lee Green development

Year 4 pupils at Brindishe Lee School have sent London Square a list of ideas for naming the buildings and roads in the new Lee Green development.

Their teacher Mrs Rathbone told the Lee Manor Society “In our geography unit, we have been looking at how Lee Green has changed over time using maps and as the brief says that London Square prefer names with historical significance we looked again at the map from circa 1745 that we had used. It shows Lee Green in its infancy and the children used some of the names on it – both people and geographical parts – to generate their ideas.”

Here are the names the Brindishe children have sent in: Gregory Road, Ridley Marsh Road, Stubbs House, Splash Common Tower, John Lade Tower, Green Wood Lane, Downtrees Court, Grassy Heath Road and Lee Page Road. 

Mrs Rathbone added “We have also been for a walk around our local area using our own list of criteria for what makes somewhere a good place to live.”
