The Image (photographed by Sue Hayton) was open from 1932 to 2003. A planning application for a major redevelopment including 575 houses and flats, shops and a community centre was submitted in August 2007 - see http://www.hsiltd.co.uk/projects/buildings__infrastructure/mixed_use_developments/catford_stadium_redevelopment.aspx. But in March 2010 the plans fell through - see http://www.catfordcentral.com/plans-fall-through-for-catford-stadium. As the Deputy Mayor of Lewisham said at that time “... the overgrown site is an eyesore.”.
