The earlier (and first) publish on this stroll was Aged Pilgrims, Sceaux, Homes & Lettsom.
On the finish of Lyndhurst Grove I got here to Lyndhurst Manner and needed to make the selection of whether or not to show left or proper alongside it. Each methods regarded attention-grabbing however I selected left and located a brief terrace or 4 reasonably uncommon homes at 13-19, two of which had the ornament on the window bays. There are additionally variations within the remedy of the doorway and home windows of those two homes, that are the one ones of the 4 with entrances main all the way down to the pavement – these on the finish of the block have their doorways on the sides.
I continued to Lyndhurst Sq. then turned again, strolling down Lyndhurst Approach to Holly Grove, taking a number of photos on the best way, none of that are on-line.
Holly Grove was developed by George Choumert (1746-1831), a Frenchman who married Lydia Fendall from a rich household of tanners in Bermondsey. He had numerous homes in-built what was then George Lane round 1815-20. This image exhibits No 14 and 15 – the homes are numbered consequently as there aren’t any homes on the north facet of the highway which is Holly Grove Shrubbery, ‘a Victorian shrubbery with a serpentine boundary with a footpath winding by it’ between Holly Grove (then South Grove) and Elm Grove. All the homes from 5-24, 32 and 33 are Grade II listed.
Peckham Indoor Market was constructed round 1938 or shortly after as Rye Lane Discount Centre with an imposing frontage for a slender arcade main again to a big coated market. It’s a method that reasonably makes it seem like a cinema. Throughout the highest is the message ‘Come Rain Or Shine It’s All the time Superb at Peckham Indoor Market’.
Within the early 2000s the market on the again was gotten smaller with half now redeveloped as flats however the entrance part stays and is now Rye Lane Market, housing over 50 small store models.
You may learn a detailed historical past of the chapel as much as 1927 on the net. The primary Baptist worship within the space was begun round 1817 when Mr Spencer, a deacon from Blackfriars Baptist church moved into what’s now Peckham Hill St, a extra rural location, for the sake of his well being and started companies in his residence. Quickly the congregation bought too giant for this they usually purchased a plot of land on Rye Lane and constructed a big and costly chapel on the nook of Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane which opened in 1819.
Sadly when the railway got here the chapel was precisely the place it ran and the railway firm have been to construct their station. So the chapel needed to go, and a brand new chapel was constructed on the alternative facet of the highway a brief distance to the north in 1863. That one was constructed on a agency concrete basis and continues to be standing and nonetheless in use, having been restored after wartime bomb injury.
I turned again west from Rye Lane alongside Elm Grove, which incorporates numerous homes of curiosity, together with half a dozen which might be Grade II listed but it surely was this group that prompted me to take {a photograph}.
Elm Grove was developed round 1830 though from the maps it seems a lot was added later within the century, and these most likely date from the center of the century. Within the Holly Grove Conservation Space doc the {photograph} from Elm Grove of those homes comes with the outline “a row of pale brick homes (No. 48-54) constructed with prominently projecting sq. bays and distinctive Gothic options on the higher storey, notably the window glazing patterns and parapet detailing.” There’s extra about them and different homes in Elm Grove later within the doc
This stroll will proceed in a later publish.
