Concrete & Clay: Belvoir Rd and Dawson's Heights: Dulwich local history walk by Ian McInnes of the Dulwich Society's Local History Group
Many people know the recently restored 'concrete house' on Lordship Lane but few know the back story, or the other concrete houses in Belvoir & Overhill Roads and local resident, concrete pioneer Joseph Tall. This walk will also cover the story of Dawson's brickworks, the gipsies who camped there, and the iconic Dawson's Heights, recently added to the local list of important buildings by Southwark Council - plus Adon Mount, the home of South London Press founder James Henderson. Meet at the junction of Underhill Rd and Lordship Lane, SE22. Ends at The Plough pub, Lordship Lane. Proceeds to the Dulwich Festival and St Christopher's Hospice.
