A couple of weeks ago, the front of Peckham Rye station was uncovered for the first time in over a year, as a major restoration of the Victorian station nears its completion.

A trip to the wonderful Symonds Salvage, Bethersden, Kent for ironmongery for our restoration of the 1920s loos at the Old Waiting Room, Peckham Rye Station. Early 20th century toilet pans. Maximum excitement! Relieve yourself in style when the Artangel exhibition opens in May.
Find a cheerful little film about our restoration of Findlater’s Corner / The London Bridge Island by Jim Wheble of BBC London News on BBC1 this evening at 6:30pm. A beautiful, Baroque Revival, Doulton’s Carraraware façade, circa 1900, conserved with nine new oak shopfronts.

Remembrance Day 2021 - someone thoughtfully put flowers around the little war memorial we made on Nunhead Lane & Peckham Rye remembering the 21, mostly young women, killed when a V1 rocket landed on a corset factory, 22nd June 1944.

An amazing early morning on a cherry picker in the gentle rain inspecting the condition of the Doulton’s Carraraware, Baroque Revival Findlaters Corner. The whiskey dealer’s shop marked by a ceramic head. The Monarch of the Glen looking across London Bridge. #EdwardianLondon

We’ve just got consent for a project to restore & extend the fine, 1906, LCC Plumstead Fire Station. Internal restoration of the Grade ll listed building & a ‘Neo-Geo’ annexe.
White & green glazed terracotta lettering - inspired by the Doulton’s Carraraware frieze!

A little milestone was reached last night: We fitted an Art Deco-inspired (Gill Sans) sign at Khan’s Bargains, the former Holdrons, on Rye Lane. Beautifully fabricated metal letters are set on a field of 1950s tiles, recently uncovered. Below a lovely tin fluted detail from 1935.
I have just discovered this lovely Arts & Crafts reredos, in painted ceramic, luminous,in the east end of the hidden St Mary’s Church Stowting in rural east Kent.
Join us in our campaign to protect this magnificent panorama of London - now under threat. See @ACAPeckham and @PeckhamVision @WalworthSociety
