The Well, Grove Park, Camberwell, 1889

Well, Grove Park, Camberwell, 1889  

Natural advantages were an important factor in the development of Georgian Camberwell.

The gently sloping grounds to the south of St.Gyles Church provided fresh air and a clean water supply in the form of natural springs and a well.

This feature is reflected in the name Camberwell.
