Peabody Buildings Bermondsey Picture early 1900s

Built in 1875 in East Lane by The Peabody Donation Trust later to become Peabody Trust to house respectable working people. The trust was founded by an American Merchant Banker George Peabody.

Can anyone enlighten us on the The Rope Walk Factory shown on the plan to the rear of the buildings and was between East Lane and New Church Street (now Gone)
In the today picture the buildings were on the ground to the right

This might not be the Rope Walk you have mentioned, only there was a number of places called Rope Walk in & around this area including Pages Walk at one time. It doe's give you an idea of what it could have looked like.

East Lane, Bermondsey 1890  X.jpg
East Lane, Bermondsey, 1890. East Lane, ran from Neckinger to Bermondsey Wall, River Thames at East Lane Stairs. As the style of houses suggests, it was an ancient thoroughfare.

A nice collection. Ancestors of mine lived in two of the houses in the pictures, and a distant relative by marriage in a third. But none lived at number 81.

... and this is where my ancestors lived when they moved from one of the others, but they'd moved out about twenty-five years before this photo was taken.

Both are of East Lane - East Street is that place in Walworth where East Lane market is held! :)
Strange thing about Oliver House on the left - check this out on GSV: the colour of the bricks, stock and red, is slightly different from exactly half way along. And although the wall at that point is in line at ground floor level, at the top the southern half of the building part of the building projects a few inches - I don't know which half is plumb and which isn't. And yet the entire building was completed at the same time in the 1930s. You can probably guess the answer to that conumdrum.

Cheers Fogbrain, slip of the finger. ;)
