I don't think this photograph has been previously published.

Any thoughts on the date of the photo Macroban?

That is fantastic!

Would love to blow it up and frame it.

I do like a bit of tram action. :)

I'd love to get in that photo and wander around for a while.

The original is a small faded sepia photograph with nothing on written on the back. The tram-lines were laid in 1906 and quadruped for safety purposes in 1912. This gives a date range for the photograph of 1906-1912.

I do like the delivery boy with his wicker basket. Presumably returning from the large mansions which were where the East Dulwich Estate is now.

Strange, doesn't look steep enough to be DKH...

[woodie]

oh wow

Dog Kennel Hill before the trams.

The East Dulwich Grove roof-line is interesting.

The roof line is fascinating! Is that St. John's? I thought it was a later construction. And I think I can see the twin domes of the hospital, which again changes my assumptions on when it was built.

Many thanks for these once again, MacRoban.

The spire must be the Congregational.

You can also see the workhouse guard-tower.
