Hello
I am trying to find some old photographs of HOP - like the ones they have in the chippie on the high street,with a view to buying a print to hang up in my house. Can't seem to source any at all, so if anyone knows where I can get one, I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Jenny
I picked one of these prints (showing the corner of Brockley Rise and Stanstead Road where The Honor Oak is now) up from a stall at Leadenhall Market. I believe it's regularly there on a Friday - they specialise in prints of old London street scenes.
If you're able to get into the City that ought to be a good place to start.
Here?s a couple of pictures of Honor Oak Park:
To see, and download, larger images click each picture, or go to
Flickr. It would also be worth going to the
Lewisham Local History Centre, which has a large collection of early photographs of the area.
Wow! It looks really posh! All those street lamps look really smart. I don't suppose we could use our locality grant to get them reinstated...
Steve, as ever, comes up trumps!
Just seen this - many thanks Steve, these are great.
I've just seen these photos, has anyone else got any old photographs of Honor Oak Park.
I know the chippie in HOP as a larger collection in their shop.
