This is a view of Blue Anchor Lane, Peckham. Or is it a déjà vu?

Picture from Collage states Blue Anchor Lane, Southwark 1926.
Obviously, this does not make it right, so can you explain or show why you think it is in Peckham. Kiwi.

Neither Bermondsey nor Peckham was in Southwark back then, both are now, so the caption is not specific.
No houses in Blue Anchor Lane, Bermondsey, had front or long rear gardens. This row of cottages can be found on old maps of Blue Anchor Lane, Peckham, labelled 'The Orchard' with long front gardens and Bachelor's Hall Place running up the right hand side.

As I thought Blue Anchor Lane. Thanks to Fogbrain for confirming that and for the added information concerning this picture, which can be seen in MYSTERY-DO YOU RECOGNISE THESE PLACES? Topic.

Poupart's Farm, shown here in 1852 from Blue Anchor Lane, was located between Dunton Rd and St James's Rd and produced wheat, fruits and veg. Farming was extensive across Southwark before the 1900s. The windmill stood in what is now Thorburn Square.

The mill was known as Blue Anchor Mill. It burned down on the morning of Monday 12th February 1866, just in time for speculators to come and buy up the land for terraced housing.

From the angle and the elevation, both of which seem to be exactly right, I reckon the view is from top of another windmill, owned by Bryan Donkin and situated next to his engineering works, now part of the site of the Harris Academy (formerly Aylwin School).

Blue Anchor Lane, Bermondsey's last ever farmhouse which was demolished in 1904. The farmland had disappeared around 50 years earlier and the area covered by Peek Frean's extension.
