Homes in various stages of construction in Copleston Road, Peckham.

There was a building boom in the southern part of Peckham and in East Dulwich between 1880 and1900.

Many of the homes were let to the so-called 'lower-middle class'.

On casual viewing of the final photograph on this page, the row of houses appears to be a spacious terrace, when in fact they are self-contained flats.
