IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Peabody Estate, Camberwell Green, LONDON, SE5 7BT

Note the architect's faint classical touches above the cornice. There are three blocks within the building, one of which is Block K. There are modern porches in front of the original arched entrances: Image Note the balconies, not provided in the 1911 buildings. There is a second building behind this one. Of the three buildings seen on the east side of Camberwell Green this is the middle one. To the south (right) is the front one of the three built in 1911, blocks A, B and C: Image and Mike Faherty's Image

This building dates from 1911 and is seen in Image

The north end of the street is now for car parking on both sides. The newly-paved south end is in effect an extension of the Camberwell Green open space, a much-loved pocket park, giving residents of the Peabody tenements, right, some sunny outside space.

On the left, the flats built in 1920; on the right, the front one of the three built in 1911. The buildings in the background, behind the hut, are part of Camberwell Leisure Centre, formerly the public baths: Image

These first appear on an OS map of 1916, replacing small properties. They are not part of the Peabody estate that adjoins them. They appear to be privately owned and let flats.

Looking toward D'Eynsford Road. The buildings to the left of the central tree are Brighton and Park Houses.

This is one of two memorials at the north end of Camberwell Green to people killed in war: Image The inscriptions on the vertical element read: In memory of the people of Camberwell who died or suffered in War This memorial stands above the Air Raid Shelter where a wedding party lost their lives on the afternoon of 17 September 1940. Sidney and Patricia Wright had just married and were celebrating in the nearby 'Mother Redcap' public house with family and friends. During an air raid, they sought refuge in the shelter which was directly hit by a bomb. All members of the Wright family and four other people were killed. May they, and all victims of War, rest in peace. The plaque on the ground lists the bodies recovered from the shelter the next day: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4794740.

The plaque sits below another: Image, one of a pair of memorials at the north end of Camberwell Green: Image This inscription reads: Bodies recovered from the Air Raid Shelter on 18 September 1940: Wright family Bride and Groom – Patricia and Sidney (aged 21) Sidney's parents – Elizabeth and Sidney (aged 48) Sidney's sisters – Dorothy (aged 19) Mary (aged 18) Elsie (aged 13) Joyce (aged 10) and June (aged 8) Nora Flaherty (aged 19) Lear Nadel (aged 58) Emma Ross (aged 48) and her son Stanley Ross (aged 14)

In the picture is one of five 3-bay blocks on the site, seen earlier in Image The view is towards Camberwell Church Street.

At the north end of Camberwell Green is this Y-shaped area of paving off the main path. It's the setting for two memorials to people killed during World War II. That on the right is a general memorial: Image That in the centre relates to Camberwell and a number of individuals sadly killed: Image
