A Clarkson Steam Bus, operated by the National Steam Car Company which ran steam buses in London from 1909 to 1919. 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. No idea what the girl didn’t do

Choumert Square Choumert Square is reputedly London’s smallest square. 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.

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.
