Extra photos from my stroll on twenty seventh January 1989. The earlier put up on this stroll is Homes, British Lion & Elmington Property.
From Camberwell Highway I hurried alongside Bowyer Place and New Church Highway to take my subsequent photos alongside Southampton Approach, going previous The Brewers pub (since closed and transformed to residential use) after which down Parkhouse Avenue and on to Wells Approach. Not one of the 9 photos I made on this part of the stroll appeared price placing on-line, maybe I used to be hurrying an excessive amount of.
The view on this {photograph} has not modified radically, with the row of homes alongside Wells Approach at proper nonetheless a lot the identical. You possibly can nonetheless see the St George’s Tavern a way down Coleman St on the nook of Rainbow St, although it has misplaced the signage on the wall. It has apparently been there since at the very least 1851, although it was closed and boarded up, however re-opened in April 2021. However the property towering above the tip of the highway is not there.
I didn’t count on to see a Bentley with a personalised quantity plate on the road near the ‘pleasant neighbourhood pub’. I questioned who may personal it, and there have been actually some very doubtful characters within the space on the time. The registration plate 1KJC would have been costly to purchase – and now most likely properly into 5 figures if accessible, a critical vainness image.
The pub at the moment was nonetheless owned by Taylor Walker whose Barley Mow Brewery in Limehouse and 1,360 pubs and off-licences and have been purchased by Ind Coope in 1959 – and brewing ceased the next 12 months. The title was revived and utilized by one other pub proudly owning firm for its London pubs from 2010 however then they have been taken over by Greene King in 2015 and once more re-branded.
6-22 Newent Shut, Peckham, have been Grade II listed in 1972 as in Peckham Grove, Peckham. The 9 linked villas date from 1838. This can be a exceptional Regency (or slightly instantly post-Regency as Victoria got here to the throne in 1837) enclave within the space. These homes are on the west aspect of the road.
The opposite finish of this quick row of homes with the blocks of the North Peckham Property on the proper. These homes have been clearly slightly run-down after I photographed them.
The homes on the east aspect of the road have these weighty porches. At proper is part of the Gloucester Grove Property, one of many 5 estates usually identified collectively because the North Peckham Property. Though this gained a horrible popularity, many former residents have fond reminiscences of residing there and the standard of their accomodation.
One other view of homes on the east aspect of Newent Shut. The lengthy block at proper is I believe half of the particular North Peckham Property, accomplished round 1972. The 5 estates have been all a part of the biggest regeneration scheme ever accepted in 1994, and have been demolished at a value of £260m over the following ten years or so.
One other view of this exceptional road with the Gloucester Grove Property within the background at left. I did take one image of Nailsworth Home on the North Peckham property however haven’t digitised that.
Ultimately I managed to pull myself away and cease taking photos of the exceptional quick part of road on the prime of Peckham Grove – now surrounded by slightly mediocre wanting properties from the regeneration of the North Peckham estates. I walked again in the direction of Wells Approach and right down to Cottage Inexperienced – the place the following put up on this stroll will start.
