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 am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
