Found negatives on Oxenford Road

[d2a]

Walking down Oxenford Road at corner of Coplestone Road on Monday, I saw a pile of house clearance rubbish, furniture etc.

A negative envelope caught my eye and when I looked closer there were perhaps a couple of dozen old negatives in a very sorry state - corroded, damp, and stuck together. I managed to clean some of them up and scanned them in and I've posted them on flickr at https://flic.kr/s/aHski33sjD

Some interesting shots of East Street, SE17, Brighton, and some sort of coach trip holiday which looked like a lot of fun. Anyone who has any ideas of who they may have belonged to, where the pictures are of, or any extra info, let me know...

Thanks d2a..

Good job done with cleaning up the Negs..

Great pics. which brought back memories for me..

Especially the old 'Charabanc' as my old nan would of called it. 50 odd years ago..

Cheers Foxy. Charabanc is a fine word. The market certainly left a right old mess in those days...

I thought the coach may of come from Nunhead Depot.

Whilst having a search I found this which I thought may be of interest to some ED residents..

Even before my time..

Added to clarify not from the period.. A modern pic of a restored museum piece..

I emailed [email protected] about that lot, one of the worst I've seen at that perennial dumping spot, last Sunday the 27th, enclosing some photographs. I trust it's been cleared by now? There was also some old correspondence there linking at least the domestic rubbish to a Copleston Road address that seemed to have been, at least in 2014, a council property.

PS d2a, thanks for just posting the URL rather than displaying them all in the thread.

oh I love an old photo ,that was a treat d2a .Don'nt suppose the South London Press would print any of them - they have a historical page ....
