The term Catford appears to have originally been specific to a crossing - subsequently bridged - over the river Ravensbourne while the village centred on the now A21 and Catford Broadway was called Rush Green and, subsequently, Rushy Green. The section of the A21 now called Rushey Green was Lewisham Road on the 1866 Ordnance Survey map of the area .
