Peckham Methodist Church occupied a prominent
site on Queen's Road at the junction with
Woods Road.
The church was built in 1865 and was demolished
in 1972.
The tram line along Peckham Road and Queen's
Road was constructed in 1870, when the cars
were pulled by horses.
Horse trams could beat trains on cost as well
as speed and comfort, and were a major stimulus
to the development of the area.
These tram lines were electrified in 1904.
Note the piano shop (detail left), a good
indicator of the area's relatively prosperous
status.
