The road is shown on a map of 1851. A map of 1875 shows the housing. There's every indication that it was like this, across a wide area, when there was far more employment south of the river than there is now. Behind the camera is the Ravenstone block of the Aylesbury Estate, its easternmost extent. https://southwarknotes.wordpress.com
