NEW CHURCH ROAD.

Postby kiwi » Tue Jun 26, 2018 11:34 pm

New Church Road was once called Southhampton Street.
New Church Road was originally laid out as an elegant approach road to St. George’s Church – new at the time – but contained some poor housing by 1898. After the war, houses started to be cleared and prefabs were built in this area of the park. Back down New Church Road, outside the park, stands Evelina Mansions. With its decorative flourishes of brick and ironwork, it was built to provide decent accommodation for the urban working classes. New Church Road originally ran from Camberwell Road to Wells Way.

New Church Road is now one of the last ‘ghost roads’ of Burgess Park – residual streets today stranded amidst green space. Just tarmac and kerbs remain – without traffic, buildings, or borders. It represents an echo of times when this area was densely built over and bustling with homes and businesses. Over nearly 200 years, it has seen a whole community come and go, and now even the road is slated for removal in 2017. I assume all have disappeared.?

The mission was built in 1895 and renamed Trinity College Centre in 1967. It was demolished along with the shops on the left c.1980, that section is now part of Burgess Park. The shops on the right side were destroyed by German Bombs in 1941.

The Anchor & Hope was situated at 83 New Church Road. This pub was renamed, The Leprechaun in 1989 and closed in 1998. It was converted to flats in 1999. Left of pub is Addington Square, this part now ends just here, but at one time run all the way to Camberwell Road.
