Title
View of Peacock Street
Description
A view of the front elevations of 11-21 Peacock Street and Peacock Square, Southwark, looking east. The terrace of houses are of varying styles. The corner property, number 21 looks as though it may have previously been of a commercial rather than residential nature. There are two reinforcing wall anchors visible on the external wall and chimney pots of variable height situated on the roof. On the street are two metal rubbish bins and next to one are a couple of gentlemen looking down the street, away from the camera. A truck is parked next to them with a semi-open back revealing several large boxes tied with rope. The rear of a smaller van is visible beyond. In the foreground at Peacock Square, two men are chatting near the carriage style street lamp. A pushbike with racing handlebars is propped up at the kerb. There are two adjacent derelict properties visible on the square with recently bricked up door and windows on the ground floor. There are also three wall anchors visible at this level. On top storey are dormer windows which are either missing or broken. Many of the pantile roof tiles are also missing. This area was demolished and redeveloped into low rise housing with gardens, known as the Newington Estate, in the 1970s.
