zephyr Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 not strictly ED - its in Nunhead. There is a building th north end of Gordon Road that is now converted to flats but looks like it used to be either a Hospital or school (looks more like a hospital). It is comprised of three buidling which are link bu a covered veranda. It looks a lovely building and I was interested in its history. It is easily seen from the train line (Nunhead to Peckham Rye Stations) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1623-building-on-gordon-road/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

macroban Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Good picture, zephyr.Yes, it really is The Spike, which is in Peckham, although it was once renamed the Camberwell Reception Centre.There's a brief description here."Camberwell Resettlement Unit" was only its name for a brief period near its end.

Rolo Tomasi Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Is that the Building next to the Old Nun's Head? If so it used to be an Antique Dealers. Now it will be comprise of 2/3 businesses on the ground floor and 11 flats on the floors above.

zephyr Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 No - down the other end of Gordon road. If you follow the Live Search link you get a birds eye view (also great for looking at Wembley Stadium and other buildings in Town). Its the building right in the middle.I have attached a picture Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1623-building-on-gordon-road/#findComment-45363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
