Description
A collection of over 200 old photographs showcases the significant changes in Peckham and Nunhead, south-east London, since the last hundred years. These images from the busy Old Kent Road to rural Nunhead Cemetery reveal a time that is hardly recognisable today. The photographs not only depict buildings and streets as they once looked but also capture the people who inhabited and worked there. They offer a glimpse into the South Metropolitan Gasworks during the First World War, where women began working for the first time, alongside scenes of dairymen milking cows in Lugard Road in the 1930s. This nostalgic collection will appeal to those familiar with the area and provide a fascinating insight into its more recent past.
