A
likely cause for this irregular
pace of development was Newlands'
distance from transport,
work and shops.
The large house in the background
was a London County Council
children's home. It is now
Bredinghurst School. |
Sartor
Road was part of the Newlands
Estate between Peckham Rye
and Nunhead Cemetery.
The streets
were laid out as early
as 1870, but development
was sporadic and the estate
was only completed in the
early 20th century.
It was
developed by the Tailor's
Labour Agency Freehold
Land Society, the name Sartor
being a reference to their
activity, as Sartor is
the Latin for tailor.
