Rosendale Road, SE24 consists of a mixture of flats and cottages, built between 1902 and 1908. A community hall was added in 1913. A “Jubilee concert” took place there in March 1914 to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of the first Peabody estate in Spitalfields. The blocks of flats resemble earlier Peabody estates, except that red brick was used instead of yellow. Block F included a communal bathhouse. For the final phase of building a new architect was selected to design 64 of the cottages. He was Victor Wilkins, who remained as Peabody’s architect until his retirement in 1948.

As ’Dulwich Court Lane’ by 1619, it lead from the 129 acres Dulwich Court Farm (later Constable’s Farm), which lay on either side of it, the southern fields later forming the nucleus of Dulwich Park. It became Court Lane around 1834. D. H. Allport, wrote in 1953: "Many residents in Dulwich will remember the elm-lined hedgerows which bordered the old lane, the deep ruts and the mud of Stygian blackness which formed its surface in winter time."

Meredith TUM image id: 1589376154 Licence:	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. TUM image id: 1549839309 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:
