[edit] Lewisham/Greenwich

>> part of the Village around Blackheath Halls lie on the north and eastern side respectively, in Greenwich.

I'm pretty sure that Blackheath Halls is in Lewisham. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.148.103 (talk) 17:21, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About cwm

I moved this cited but inaccurate assertion here:

"Some vestiges of the Danish camps may be traced in the names of Eastcombe and Westcombe, on the borders of Blackheath, where 'coomb' refers to the Saxon for 'camp'." [1]

Combe actually has no link to Saxon nor Danish.--Wetman (talk) 15:28, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] world war 2

I was told when I lived in the area that a number of pits on Blackheath had been filled in with rubble from world war 2 bomb sites and that's part of the reason why so much of the site is flat. Can anyone confirm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidvaughanwells (talk • contribs) 18:07, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I think I read similar on one of the related web pages about Blackheath or Greenwich. Will try and find it again! DavidAnstiss (talk) 09:09, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
