I've had to look up the history of our house on Kilmorie Road and came across something interesting on the Ideal Homes site:

http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/lewisham/a...hill/1890s

"By 1894 the street naming was settling down to something close to its modern form, and the last pockets of farmland were being covered by Stondon Park and its offshoots in the north, and by the Leathersellers' estate between Stanstead Road and Woolstone Road in the south."

Does anyone know if this means that the area of land we call the 'Perry Vale Triangle' (which includes Kilmorie Road) was originally owned by the Leathersellers company?

I've discovered who originally lived in the house from the 1901 Census record - the widow of a bootmaker from Kent, and 4 of her 10 children - not sure if that is a coincidence (boots, leather...)
