St Peter's Church, Dulwich Common, and derelict house
St Peter's is a former Church of England church, financed in part by the Horniman family who set up the nearby museum. After the Church of England declared it redundant it passed to a pentecostal group.
The derelict house is believed to be the only surviving 19th-century concrete house in England. In 1867 Charles Drake patented the use of iron panels for concrete shuttering and six years later his Patent Concrete Building Company erected his house.
For years it stood derelict, its architectural significance meaning that it could not be demolished. After this photograph was taken it was restored and converted to flats, the renovated building being reopened in 2013.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lordship_Lane,_Southwark for more information on the house and surrounding area.

St Peter's Church, Dulwich Common
A former C of E church, financed in part by the Horniman family who set up the nearby museum. The C of E no longer needed it and it is now owned by a pentecostal group; the church hall to the right seems to be used more than the (listed) church building.
