The earlier submit on this stroll on Sunday twelfth February 1989 was Gold Bullion, Victoriana, Flats, Insurance coverage and Vats – Peckham.
Again within the Nineteen Thirties there have been at the very least 5 Albert Roads in London, together with numerous Albert Streets, Albert Mews and so on and the authorities launched into an orgy of renaming to kind out the confusions that might come up. Albert had been significantly common after Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha had married Queen Victoria in 1840 and on the time of his demise in 1861, and a few, similar to Consort Highway, had been renamed to replicate their unique dedication.
15 Consort Highway is Grade II listed and described as “Mid C19, not too long ago restored” and it quite seems as if my image was taken throughout that restoration, with the home in glorious situation however the backyard quite missing. Its itemizing is maybe extra about its half in a gaggle of comparable homes quite than its particular person advantage, and 11,13 and 17 are additionally listed.
Quite higher identified now could be its new neighbour, 15 and a half Consort Highway, an lengthy, low and unobtrusive home now alongside the fitting hand facet of this home with a wood-covered frontage extending a little bit nearer to the highway. From the entrance it quite seems like a storage which somebody overlook to place within the door, however it was a very progressive constructing by Richard Paxton Architects in 2002, shortlisted within the RIBA Awards 2006, and featured on TV’s Grand Designs.
Two railway strains with three bridges cross Consort Highway just some yards from one another, one main from Peckham Rye to Nunhead and the opposite from Peckham Rye to Queen’s Highway Peckham, alongside which is now deliberate to construct an city linear hall park, the Coal Line, which I visited in 2015.
The bridges and the realm round them have modified significantly since 1989. However I feel the viaduct is of the road to Nunhead and this home on the sting of the workhouse web site has since been demolished.
Restricted had been in a post-war constructing on Consort Highway just a bit south of the railway bridges and I feel they made waterproof merchandise utilizing rubber on glass fabric. Their constructing changed some older Victorian terrace housing, a few of which was nonetheless there on the proper after I made this image. I feel the corporate beneath a barely totally different title remains to be in enterprise elsewhere.
These buildings have all been changed by fashionable flats and an industrial unit.
This store was clearly on a road nook, virtually definitely one of many 4 corners with Consort Highway and Brayards Rd. I used to be within the shapes and the tiling in addition to the fly posting and crude graffiti – which seems to be two practices at producing the ultimate consequence at proper, maybe a stylised ’68’. The doorway with a rusticated keystone appeared unusually tall and slender. It was in all probability Victorian though the shopfront appeared later.
The Gold Diggers Arms was a sizeable pub on the northeast nook of Brayards Highway and Consort Highway and was nonetheless in enterprise after I made this image. It had been right here since at the very least 1871, however closed in 2001 and was demolished in 2005. The location is now a contemporary improvement, Dayak Courtroom, flats above floor flooring industrial premises.
Hooper Corridor at 111 Consort Highway opened as a mission of St Mary Magdalene in St Mary’s Rd in 1907, which was destroyed by a land mine in 1940. Worship continued right here and within the church corridor whereas cash was raised to construct a brand new church, opened in 1962 and itself changed in 2011. The mission has lasted quite higher.
A discover tells us that in 1989 it was utilized by each St Mary Magdalene and the Peckham Christian Fellowship. Later it turned house to the Christ Miracle Gospel Ministries Worldwide however was put up on the market in 2012, and I feel the church moved to Edmonton. A fence was put up round Hooper Corridor round 2015 as if constructing work was about to start, however little appears to have occurred since. It seems nonetheless to be out there on the market.
This stroll will proceed in a later submit. The primary submit on this stroll was Aged Pilgrims, Sceaux, Homes & Lettsom.
