looking south towards Ladywell - think this must have been taken from up the tower of St Saviour's Church.
The Prince of Wales cinema was where Bright House is now.

- Bit of a random one, and please admin delete if not appropriate. I’ve got a friend who finds themselves, thanks to ou benefits system, currently homeless. I’ve got no space at my flat at the moment. Anyone know of anyone looking for house sitter/ with a cheap spare room in localish area? They have stayed at mine before and looked after my dogs while I’ve been and I can totally vouch for their trustworthiness. Please PM me if you have any bright ideas/ might be able to help..

Hi all,
Thought people might like to either join in or avoid the areas to be targeted.

out of curiosity, had a look at 1950 OS map
OS map at that time usually showed 'ruins' if it was a bombed site. looks like that corner has never really been built on - part of the site formed road access to the goods / coal sidings at Bellingham Station

east side of Bromley Road, north of Bellingham Road street view here - it hadn't occurred to me that row had been built in installments like that.
Would put it in the few years before 1914.
fairly sure these were the first buildings on the site - 1894 OS map shows fields.
Can find a reference to Lt Charles Wormull of 235 Bromley Road (maybe the flat above?) who was killed in the 1914-18 war.
No reference in the 1911 Post Office London Suburbs Directory, but the 1914 issue has Bellingham Terrace -
So probably slightly later than Edwardian.
(all above is public domain - I don't do Farcebook, so if you want to bung any of it on there, feel free)
and
at "Alfred Turrell and Sons, rustic workers" a bit up the roadand at 21/22 (243 Bromley Road) still being motor trade, over 100 years on

can't always get 'old maps' to work - and went in search of this while looking for something else
1916 OS map (ETA - you have to zoom out a bit) shows Bellingham Terrace in its incomplete state (which matches the 1914 directory) - wonder if construction stopped because of the war?

Willow Sims, who moved to the UK from the US aged four, lost proof of her indefinite leave to remain when she was placed in foster care foster care following the death of her mother; she was told by a member of Lewisham’s HR department, Allyson Hollidge, “That was a very good story but your mum was obviously an illegal immigrant, which would make you an illegal immigrant.”
