The Peckham Rye Park Waterfalls

[edhistory]

The agricultural drainage ditch that some people, including Ordnance Survey in recent years, now call the Peck was significantly modified to provide features for Peckham Rye Park.

I'd like some help in finding out more about the Waterfalls to form part of a prospective 2019 publication.

So far I've only located three photographs, all from postcards.

Does anyone know the location of any photographs?

I would particulary like to find a photograph looking downsteam.

Does anyone have any information about the mechanics of controlling the waterflow?

Is there any surviving evidence of the planting of non-native waterside plants?

John, the attached 1894 snippet may be of interest. I've got the full article, which goes into the history as well, and several others of the period about the Rye and Park. There is an 1894 LCC pamphlet in the LMA catalogue, though it's said to be not in a fit condition for public access. But some plans for the development are viewable.
