David Lodge

Deleted "* Novelist David Lodge grew up in New Cross Gate." David Lodge (author) article says he grew up in Brockley. Paul W 19:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hatcham

The article asserts that New Cross was originally called Hatcham. From what I've read it appears that Hatcham is just part of the area. Specifically the former manor that was the part of parish of St Paul Deptford that was within Surrey. The descriptions appear to indicate that the manor was the area around New Cross Gate station (then called New Cross) and did not extend as far as the New Cross station of today.

Not sure I see your argument. The surrounding area was most likely fields back in 1086. Artlondon (talk) 09:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I think the wording - New Cross was originally known as Hatcham - should be changed as New Cross [1] and Hatcham [2] are not the same place, as is currently asserted. Hatcham is a specific area (the former manor) within New Cross and the area that came from the county of Surrey, the rest from Kent. [3] MRSC • Talk 10:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

New Cross Gate

Could this article redirect here? Or is there enough to create a full neighbourhood article without duplicating content? MRSC • Talk 10:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Dog track

Claimed by unnamed contributor: "New cross dog track did not close till 1965 not 1963 as stated in your sports section." Can anyone verify this? Paul W (talk) 15:25, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
