I would like to commence this project as most people who are seeking information on the Internet begin: by using google. Here are the top 5 results for the search term 'New Cross Road', from a London IP address of course:
1-http://www.londontown.com/LondonStreets/new_cross_road_6ee.html
2-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cross
3-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cross_Gate_railway_station
4-http://www.londononline.co.uk/area/New_Cross_Road_SE14/
5-http://www.grace.org.uk/churches/nxbc/index.html
The londontown.com result is of interest only for how poor and unrelated to the actual street the information is. Here are linked information for businesses, some of which are local, others up to 40 minutes walk away. The two wikipedia articles are indicative of both the preeminence of wikipedia in online searches in general but also both are signs of what I presume to be locals taking an active interest in the online presentation and archivization of their communities. The londononline.co.uk link is of a type quality to the first, but at least all of the businesses linked to here were at least at some point to be found on New Cross Road. The final result is an indication of the relatively large church going part of the population that is to be found in the area.
