Local List - heritage of local history & local architecture

[Eileen]

Hi ? This message is for anyone who is interested in local history and local architecture. Would you like to identify local buildings and places which you think are important in our local history because of their architecture or their social history? Southwark Council is preparing to consult on a ?Local List? for the whole borough, including all areas of SE15 and SE22. This is a list of buildings and spaces of local historic or architectural importance but which don?t meet the exacting criteria for being nationally listed, but it gives a bit of additional protection.

There will be a public meeting organised by Peckham Vision http://www.peckhamvision.org to prepare for this on Wed 20th March: 6pm exhibition and 7pm-9pm meeting with speakers and discussion. The event will be in the Old Mill Building at 72 Copeland Road, SE15. This is a heritage building as one of the few Victorian industrial buildings left in Peckham. It will be a candidate for the Local List and a useful example. More on this here:

The Old Mill Building is open to visit twice before the public meeting if you can?t get to that:

* Saturday 9th March 9.30am to 3pm ? local fundraising boot sale

* Wednesday 13th March 6.15pm?7.15pm exhibition and to see the building

* more info on these events - http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Old_Mill_Building

Here is some initial summary info on the preparation of the Local List: https://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Local_List

Southwark Council will be consulting later this year on the preparation of the new Heritage Local List. This gives a bit more protection to buildings and places that are valued locally for architectural or social reasons. Local people and community groups have a key role to play in identifying these buildings and places for more protection: https://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Local_List

If you are interested in taking part in this, whether you are in East Dulwich, Peckham, Peckham Rye, Camberwell, Nunhead or anywhere in Southwark, come to the exhibition 6pm, and public meeting 7pm-9pm on Wednesday 20th March this week ? book a place https://www.eventbrite.com/e/southwarks-heritage-local-list-tickets-58483751475

The venue is the Old Mill Building at 72 Copeland Road, Peckham SE15: see Google location here:

The Old Mill was built in the 1880s as a ?British wine manufactory? when sweet wines were popular. http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Old_Mill_Building#Introduction

Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted comes to mind- AFTER the council has granted planning permission for all the ugly carbuncles splattered over the Victorian houses in ED....shameful and obscene

Are we talking loft extensions?

There is still lots of heritage to protect for the future, in SE22 and in the rest of the borough. Come along to the meeting tomorrow Wed 20th March 7-9pm, exhibition from 6pm, in the Old Mill Building 72 Copeland road SE15 to find out how to take part in your own area.
