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.

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.

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.

    • Thanks Alice, I think that’s probably the same for us 
    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
