From Peckham Rye to Shepherd’s Bush, this route was eventually replaced by the No. 12 bus. The old Peckham bus garage was opposite the Tyrrell Arms on Peckham Rye. P.S.

It consists of small Victorian houses that were infilled a garden of a Rye Lane house in the c 1870s. It is now a car-free cul-de-sac off of Choumert Grove and was built as a row of one-bedroom cottages without back gardens. Each cottage has a small front garden which are generally well-tended. While called a ’square’, it is more of a lane which has a community of residents which opens itself for a summer Open Day once every year. TUM image id: 1549839309 Licence:
Prince Albert, Consort Road SE15 (1902) In a fit of inappropriate renaming, the Prince Albert was renamed ’The Shergar’ in 1981 and then the ’Spotted Frog’ in 1998. Later it became a delicatessen and a restaurant. TUM image id: 1665760165 Licence:	Air raid shelters in Parkstone Road, Peckham off Rye Lane (1940) After the war, the road was redeveloped. TUM image id: 1608037772 Licence:	Peckham Rye station began operating in 1865, with an open square in front. It was designed by the noted Victorian architect Charles Henry Driver, who also designed some of London’s great pumping stations. It is unknown whether Driver was also a fan of billiards - opportunities to play on the green baize seem to dominate the station whether by design or accident. The image features a huge group of men. It’s also unknown if they are the station’s many billiards players gathered for a group photo. TUM image id: 1707500912 Licence:
