The Mount was a football stadium in Catford, located in the south west corner of Mountsfield Park where football was played as early as the mid 19th century. Catford Southend F.C. (founded c1900) eventually developed the land into a proper stadium with terracing. The Mount was unusual as it was elevated above the surrounding area and thus that may be a possibility for its name.
