| East
Dulwich changed its character
very rapidly in the decade
after 1870 from rural farmland
to a Victorian lower-middle/upper-working
class suburb.
Developers
and freeholders were inconsistent
in their provision of services
and facilities, but the
provision of state education
was the responsibility of
the mighty London Schools
Board.
Heber Primary
School, built on a typical
industrial scale, and to
a design familiar throughout
London, was opened in 1886,
providing over
1600 school places. |
