My son and I walked past an old building today on the way to Brockwell park. We looked over the front briefly however couldn't come to any conclusion about its past. Any old school residents available to shed some light. Ive attached a photo. I think it could of been a market? or perhaps a garage. Any info or photos would be very interesting. Were not in the property development game or anything. just very curious :)

two extracts from urban75 thread



"Full marks to those who identified this Edwardian building as a dairy. It was designated a Locally Listed Building by Lambeth Council in 2012 - the listing description reads: 279 Rosendale Road SE24 9EJ - Arts and Crafts style former milk depot with attractive brick frontage building. 1906. banded fa?ade with buillseye windows. it is protected by the Peabody Estate Conservation Area designated in 1999."


"Ok Buckle up.

What you see are the remains of what was an Express milk depot. I lived on the estate next door from 1957 till around 25 years ago. We would hang out outside the dairy waiting for the electric milk floats to exit then help the milkman put the milk on residents doorsteps for a couple of bob. There was an express shop to the left and a milk machine where we could score chocolate milk.."

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
