ALBANY ROAD.
Re: ALBANY ROAD.
It seems it changed to an off-license sometime after 1931, because in 1938 it was an off-licence until it was destroyed by a VS.-2 rocket in 1944; it was rebuilt as the Galleon Wine Co., at 4 Albany Road and was reassigned 9 Keesey Street, which was opposite Canal Street and the William IV pub, Keesey St is no longer there.

An original document dated 1879. It is a leased signed by John Allan Rolls, 1st Baron of Llangattoc, (lesser) and David Devenish (lessee), for the Albany Arms, located at 209 Albany Road in Camberwell. The lease is for 25 years from 1882 to 1907 and the cost was 2,000 sterling pounds. It also shows the Rent of £140 to Mr Chas Edward Norris.

Re: ALBANY ROAD.
The cluster of shops at the junction of Albany Road with Calmington Road provided for all the daily needs of the local community. No. 103 Albany Road had been a doctor’s consulting room, surgery and dispensary for many decades. In 1917, Dr Robert Galloway Whitelaw from Scotland lived there with his wife, Catherine. Next door was the fried fish shop (101) and fishmonger (99), both run by the Skelton family. The business had been founded by the enterprising Eleanor Skelton. Widowed at the age of 38 with eight children, she opened a fried fish shop at 27 Bagshot Street, Camberwell.
By 1911 Eleanor’s youngest son, Stephen, had taken over a shop at 101 Albany Road and opened no. 99 next door as a fresh fish shop. His son, also Stephen John, was a junior fishmonger there. Eleanor’s daughter Emma, who had married James Glass, a meat porter, managed the fried fish shop at no. 101, assisted by her daughter Alice. They also had a shop at 3 Beckway Street. The Miller family ran the post office (the pillarbox still stands outside) and baker’s (105). Over on the north side of Albany Road were the shops of confectioner William John Jarvis (136) and grocer Henry Boyce Balls (138) and the local pub, the Duke of Edinburgh (140).

Re: ALBANY ROAD.
Looking at the address numbers 372 in the above picture and 373 of the London Salt Co,Ltd, plus the dates 1936 & 1938, it’s possible that the Salt Co. was on the right just out of the picture.

Re: ALBANY ROAD.
There were brick kilns next to St Georges Church, Wells Way but not sure if they belonged to Burtt’s. Burtt’s premises did extend all the way to Albany Road. The Lime Kiln is now Grade 2 listed, built in 1816 the kiln was in continuous use until 1925.
