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.."

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
