Extra from my stroll in south London on Sunday fifth February 1989. The earlier put up was Round Rye Lane Peckham 1989.
There may be nonetheless a doorway right here between 56 and 58 Peckham Rye, however the lock above it has gone and it now has an indication for Ezel Court docket at 56 A and B and 58 A and B. The Vintage store was for some years Delta Tavern, an Arfican Restaurant, then a café referred to as Pedler and most not too long ago a bar and restaurant Good Neighbour. The constructing constructing to the suitable of the doorway can be now a bar.
At high left of my image who simply get a glimpse of the fairly finely embellished higher storeys of the 2 late Victorian buildings at 58 and 60, although for some purpose I didn’t hassle to cross the street to {photograph} these.
This window was only a few doorways additional down at No 64 and I favored the symmetry of its show, although damaged by the 2 an identical images of a lady trying in the identical path. I don’t assume I used to be in any respect clear as to what was behind this window – or what the girl in her strongly patterned gown and gloves was meant to characterize. And on the centre of the window show is a thick guide on a desk, a Thesaurus.
The enticing grille above the door is now not there, and was most likely salvaged and offered when the shopfront was up to date. In newer years this has been occupied by an property agent, a pizza takeaway and wonder salons.
Within the reflection you possibly can see the in depth premises of G Austin & Sons Ltd providing secondhand furnishings and antiques, now I believe changed by a three-storey block of flats.
I used to be all the time completely happy to {photograph} individuals who noticed me taking photos and needed to have their image made, although I very seldom took down particulars so I may give them photos. So this younger man, posing for me in 1989 is not going to have seen this image, except he has visited the web page on Flickr solely since January 2021 – it has by no means been revealed elsewhere.
The Regency Carriage Firm has lengthy gone from this web site, although the constructing stays, fairly altered. It was for a while an property brokers however has for round ten years been Rye Automobiles. However the yard by which the vehicles on the market have been neatly aligned is now coated by flats.
St John the Evangelist was inbuilt 1865 to the designs of native architect Charles Bailey, however was badly bombed in 1940. Reconstruction started in 1947, incorporating the remaining apse and tower which dominate my image and was accomplished in 1951.
126 East Dulwich Highway faces the west finish of Goose Inexperienced on the nook of Grove Vale and I favored the uncompromising stare of the top above its easy however spectacular doorway.
A pair of doorways with heads, with a simiilar design and I believe on the identical row of homes dealing with Goose Inexperienced because the earlier picture.
I walked just a few yards north up Grove Vale to {photograph} this fantastic Grade II listed instance of a college constructed as Grove Vale Faculty for the Faculty Board for London in 1900 to the Baroque Revival designs of T J Bailey
I circled right here and walked all the way down to Lordship Lane the place my subsequent put up on this stroll will start.
