Cossall Street, SE15

Cossall Street was a short street leading up to the railway lines.

Cossall Street had been built in the 1870s alongside the railway between Peckham Rye and Queen’s Road Peckham stations.

It was demolished in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

It is difficult to exactly place its end date. Instead of being directly replaced by new build (in this case the 1970s Cossall Estate), next to it lies traces of an unbuilt road which would have formed part of an 1960s London-wide urban motorway, known as the Southern Box.

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.

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.
