Elsted Street, Walworth, 1963

Elsted Street, Walworth, 1963

  

Much of Walworth between the Old Kent Road and Walworth Road was redeveloped before and mainly after World War II.

The 'Knockholt' cottages on Elsted Street are one of the earliest survivors, and were built in 1854 when the area was mainly fields.
