My earlier submit about this stroll on fifth February 1989 was Peckham Rye to Goose Inexperienced – 1989
Lordship Lane is a longish street that goes vaguely south from Goose Inexperienced round a mile and a half to the Horniman Museum at Forest Hill, however I solely walked a reasonably quick part at its north finish on this stroll. A lot of the primary part was lined by outlets by which I discovered little of curiosity.
The Dulwich Membership, a members solely consuming institution at 110 Lordship Lane was affiliated to the Working Males’s Membership and Institute Union, CIU, which was arrange in 1862 to advertise schooling and temperance among the many working courses, who quickly took over what had been a philanthropic middle-class gesture and commenced additionally to supply low cost beer in addition to different low cost services and products.
Most early golf equipment had been arrange as both Liberal or Labour golf equipment (Conservative Golf equipment didn’t be a part of, having greater class aspirations) and however the motion as a complete was non-political. This one – because the notice-board reveals was aiding its members in council housing to benefit from the ‘proper to purchase’ launched by Thatcher.
When you had been a member of any CIU membership you might go into any of the opposite CIU golf equipment across the nation and benefit from the amenities – significantly the bar.
This constructing was demolished round 2000 and the positioning is now housing. The home at left it nonetheless there.
Bassano St, Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, Southwark, 1989 89-2c-56
Just some yards down Bassano Road from Lordship Lane is that this spiritual constructing, with a cross within the brickwork above the doorway. It was the Epiphany Mission, inbuilt 1908 by architects Nixon, Horsfield & Sons and used as an Anglican church from then till 1927 after which later from 1941-51 as a alternative for St John’s which had been bombed after which as a parish corridor till offered in 1994 to finance the Goose Inexperienced Centre at St John’s.
My image just isn’t fairly sharp sufficient to learn the identify on the discover clearly however I feel it says ‘The Epiphany Corridor’. At proper there may be clearly a later extension, maybe from the Nineteen Fifties.
The constructing is now nonetheless in spiritual use because the Church of God (seventh Day) Sabbath Conserving Temple.
One of many extra attention-grabbing late-Victorian buildings peppered across the space this adorned frontage is on the finish of a quite uninteresting terrace with floor flooring outlets.
I’m unclear as to the intertwined initials on the high of the constructing , hardly seen in my {photograph}, however even them extra clearly, I’m uncertain if they’re simply D and G or are meant additionally to incorporate an E.
The store now not has the profusion of indicators which appealed to me, together with two Michelin males, and the billboard greater up has additionally gone. Now not tyres, the store is now Franklin’s Farm Store, indication of the extent of gentrification within the space.
North Cross Street, operating east from Lordship Lane, had (and nonetheless has) an extended row of small outlets I discovered of extra curiosity, together with this hairdresser’s window with a poster displaying varied hair kinds from an organization in Lagos.
The poster might have been on the window of this hairdresser, although there have been a number of to selected between on the road. That is Ena’s and has a poster promoting a Jamaican Easter Delivery Sale.
Molly, one other hairdresser on the road seems to cater for a extra conventional white clientèle. The stained glass window at left with the phrase SHAMPOOING has a distinctly 1930 really feel – and presumably there was as soon as the same panel on the opposite aspect of the doorway. The FOR cellphone quantity was for the FORest Hill alternate and went outdated in 1996 after we moved to all determine numbering.
I feel this yard with its Recent Fish and Shellfish stall saved there was on the rear of retailers on Lordship Lane, one in all which was, from the trays, presumably a bakery. Maybe the stall was wheeled out to be used beside the pub on the nook, a historic pub, The Lord Palmerston inbuilt 1862 (although it has since final ‘The Lord’.)
This was the top of my stroll and I received on a bus, however received off my bus to take one other image on Camberwell Street in Walworth.
Quite to my shock, there was a newsagents in the identical store right here till round 2014. The bigger home on this image is now a resort with a two storey road entrance.
