Camberwell: Cameron House, Comber Grove, SE5
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 11 Sep 2009
This is one wing of a particularly fine U-shaped block of former London County Council flats, built between the wars in a style that has as its origin large town houses of the early eighteenth century Queen Anne period. As a later example of social housing behind can be seen one of the five tower blocks on the Wyndham Estate, this one being Coniston House. The road is Comber Grove, although from early Ordnance Survey maps, certainly up to 1938, it was Leipzig Road, the name presumably falling out of favour in the light of subsequent events.
