Hi Brian, I see what you mean, so first things first. The first picture I posted does look like a school, so I assumed that is what it was. After checking many maps and information about Ilderton Road I could only find two schools being in Ilderton Road, the one by the bridge which I knew was not t...

Hi Brian, all the best to you and the family for 2021. I had to smile when I saw your post, as like you I could not remember any street being there, so thought post it and Brian will tell me , now we are both confused. I have looked at several maps and none show a street there but and this is only ...

Ilderton Road School 1950. Is this the school that was where the Canterbury Industrial Estate is today, near Hornshay Street. :?: Ilderton Road,Old Kent Road 1950..png Hi Kiwi, Hope you're keeping well! I've been pondering over the image of Canterbury/Ilderton road school for a while and I'm hoping...

Hi Kiwi,

This is the same Ebonestas that was at the end of Rollins Street?
My Nan and Grandad both worked there for many years... Anne and Walter Couzins.
The late May Lloyd had photos of a young Nan and Grandad dressed in their finest, about to board a coach, bound for an Ebonestas beano!

Hi Kiwi, Unfortunately, I wasn’t around during the hay days of New Cross Stadium, but I do remember being taken to see the stock car / banger racing by my dad, grandad and uncle. I was about 4 so it would have been around 1968? My strongest memories are of the noise and the smell! I was petrified on...

Hi Kiwi, I’ve been pondering over the above picture for ages.... and I don’t think it’s Record Street?. But that view does look familiar? I thought at first that the building in the background was Ilderton Road school but, having looked at quite a few pictures, I don’t think it is. I know the school...

"kiwi"]No problem Brian & thanks for that. Yes, I did slightly get it wrong but don’t tell the wife she keeps telling me I’m not PERFECT. ;) I think this could be by Albany Road with Humphrey Street to the left but not sure? OLD KENT ROAD 1900s.jpg Hi Ray, Looks like you're right! IMG...

Junction of Pomroy Street and Old Kent Road in 1953. Very like where Fosney’s tram is in an earlier post, bus/tram heading towards New Cross. Good to see I’m not the only one that doe’s it, as strictly speaking this is New Cross Road, Old Kent Road ends the other side of the Bridge. "Not a lot...

Hi Steve, Yes, I remember those entrances now... if I remember correctly, there was one either side of the viaduct, the one in the picture above must have been on the OKR side; the one on the New Cross side of the viaduct could be seen from the TV shop I worked at. During the 80's/90's those arches ...

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone has, or knows where to find, any photos of the above station? I know it was closed during the first World War, but never reopened! I did read a little while ago, about the possibility of a new OKR station, as part of the regeneration of the area... quite ironic that a...
