So Macroban, are you going to tell us where the photos are from? I would be really interested to see if there are any photos of our street, Hindmans Rd. Our house and the one it is attached to date from around 1855, a doctors surgery and residence and the coach house. Servants quarters were added on the other side in 1900. 1855 is quite early for around here.

Brilliant - that really made me laugh :)):)-D Nice one guys.

EDmummuy,

Nothing special here. I did some scans a couple of years ago, and in an idle moment I decided to share a few of the more interesting ones.

Isn't there a postcard of Hindmans Road with a horse-drawn milk-cart in view? I'm pretty sure I've seen that some time in the past.

Love the historic pics of East Dulwich! Does anyone have any old pics of North Cross Road (where I am), or any history of the road!

Here's a picture of Ady's Road: "a good example of the second phase of Peckham's suburban development, ... designed for members of the lower-middle class and skilled artisans."

Note the early horse-drawn Bugaboo.

I bought a copy of the Cyrstal Palace Road photograph from the street market in Bromley earlier this year. Can't remember the name of the seller but they had lots of old photos of various places in and around London. I'll try and find out who I got it from.

The photo of Adys Road reminds me of how many small "back street" shops we have lost over the years.
