The earlier publish on this stroll on Sunday fifth February 1989 was The Groves of Camberwell.
Grove Park modifications to Chadwick Street on a bridge throughout the railway which separates Camberwell from Peckham and continues on, with a significantly much less rich vibe, one aspect with lengthy terraces of two-storey two mattress working-class homes which now promote for round £900,000.
The north aspect was extra various, with an industrial property however nothing attracted my photographic curiosity till this printers and its a number of indicators on the nook with Bellenden Street. The signal on the wall remains to be there however the remaining have gone and the bottom ground frontage on Bellenden Street seems to be very totally different.
The constructing is now house to MOCA London, The Museum of Up to date Artwork, Londonfounded in 1994 as a mission primarily based museum which opened a mission house right here within the Bellenden Renewal Space in 2004.
I turned south down Bellenden Street, made a few photos on Maxtead Street after which went down Oglander Street and into Adys Street the place I discovered this entrance backyard. I couldn’t resist the 2 donkeys and the gnome in a small automobile in entrance of these web curtains. You may see the decorations by the home windows of those late Victorian homes which even have pretty spectacular rusticated doorways paired collectively down the road.
Again on Oglander Street just a little south of Adys Street was Padwick’s Crash Repairs on the finish of a terrace of small homes. These past the storage additional down the road are bigger and semi-detached. I significantly favored the faces on the 2 archways and the truncation of each archways, the decorage factor at every finish of the shopfront suggesting it might need been initially constructed like this moderately than a later addition.
Coach entrances like this had been frequent to many companies within the days of horse-drawn autos – and this definitely predates the period of motor transport. This was as soon as a diary and had massive related buildings in a yard behind. The ‘Previous Diary’ was demolished in 2020 and I believe is being rebuilt as a brand new gateway to a mews growth behind.
The junction of Oglander Street with Maxtted Street, with Wingfield Avenue roughly reverse, and retailers on the road corners. There may be nonetheless a store on the opposite nook of Oglander Street however this Auto Electrics and the ‘Bottle & Cork’ at the moment are residential.
I went up Maxted Rd to Bellenden Rd the place I photographed this chapel on the nook of Danby St. Beforehand this was Hanover Chapel, however was purchased by the Pentecostal Religion Chapel in 1978 in a “grossly dilapidated situation, which took practically a yr to renovate.”
The church was constructed as a United Methodist Free Church and opened in 1885, eight years after its memorial stones had been laid. It had been deliberate with a spire which was by no means constructed. It was bought in 1920 to Hanover Chapel, the oldest non-conformist worshipping group in Peckham, Congregationalists with a historical past going again to 1657 when the dispossessed Vicar of St Giles, Camberwell the Rev. John Maynard based a chapel or assembly Home in Assembly Home Lane.
I proceed up Bellenden Street to Blenheim Grove, strolling down this nearly to Rye Lane the place I photographed the moderately positive constructing at 133 housing Murrays Meat Market and Ralph Haeems & Co Solicitors. Appreciable renovation of this constructing, the doorway to Copeland Park, passed off round 2018-9 and it’s now ‘MARKET PECKHAM’, whose developer responded to public stress to drop plans to show it into luxurious flats.
In earlier years from 1908 to 1915 this was the Electrical Theatre – and after I took this image the primary ground turned house to The Redeemed Christian Church of God-Home of Reward.
I walked again down Blrenheim Grove, and made this image of one other constructing of Ralph Haeems & Co Solicitors at No 9. This early nineteenth century villa was Grade II listed in 1998 and was acquired by Southwark Council to be used as workplaces in 2002. They ceased to make use of it in 2010 after the council acquired its new workplaces in Tooley St in 2007 and the council determined to promote it in 2011.
The constructing is now two residential properties, 9 and 91/2 Blenheim Grove.
My account of the stroll in Peckham in 1989 will proceed in a later publish.
My account of this stroll from fifth February 1989 started with A Pub, Ghost Signal, Outlets And The Sally Ann.
