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

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

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.

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

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.

From an aerial photo there appear to be five buildings to the Peabody Estate at Camberwell Green, each of three blocks. These are A, B and C.

The Green has had a makeover, with new play equipment and trees. A length of the road in front of the Peabody tenements has been closed, paved, and made continuous with the Green, extending its area. The cable up the tree fires the LED fairy lights above. The view is towards Camberwell Church Street.

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.
