I used to live on Homestall Road and was told that it was an original road/track that led to Homestall Farm that was located on what is now Peckham Rye Park until the late 19th Century.


Why it was never paved I'm not sure but I guess it might have something to do with Beechcroft Reservoir (or the Aquarius Golf Club as it's now better known) which was constructed at around about the same time that the farm was purchased by the Council.


The houses are all circa 1930's and built at the same time as those on the Eastern stretches of Colyton, Mundania, Therapia, Marmora and Scutari Roads. They're fairly typical for the period. They're not as old fashioned as some of the bigger Victorian properties in the area ;)

      I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry.. most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged. Do give it a go.

      Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.

      A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour.
