Loughborough Road SW9 shops, pubs and people: stories of last 200 years of this south London street.

[Loughborough Road SW9 history @RoadSw9]

Always a pleasure to co-lead Cemetery tours with @summerstown182. We’ve been sharing stories of amazing women we’ve found in the run up. Today the 66th anniversary of orchid artist Nelly Roberts’ death, we got to share women’s stories with fabulous group of people.

Thanks to everyone who made it along to lovely #LambethCemetery today which was looking immaculate for our ‘Women of Lambeth Cemetery’ Tour. Such a privilege to do this alongside the wonderful Tracey @RoadSw9 who has discovered so many of these stories

@WNCemetery @ChurchMonuments @HeritageFundUK @bereavementser1 @fownc1837 🙏this could be one reason to stay on here. Church monuments. Filled my feed this morning when I popped for look.

[LJ4D - Loughborough Junction's built history @_LJ4D]

A couple of weeks ago I posted a video explaining why Loughborough Junction ended up where it did.

This one looks at how LJ itself developed during the same period of time (about 1860-1900).

I've written a bit about the viaduct repair work that's going on at the moment in Loughborough Junction -

@MusicAndMuseums You got a ticket. Lucky you

[Lambeth Archives @LambethArchives]

Since you all voted for Blue Plaques for Women in our 2020 poll, we are very pleased that four of your choices received an English Heritage blue plaque. Yesterday was the unveiling of a blue plaque for Olive Morris, a political activist, who lived on Railton Road, Brixton.

Because of the huge interest from visitors to our exhibition, Shakespeare in Lambeth, we have extended its run until Fri 6 December. As well as celebrating the return of the folios, "Shakespeare in Lambeth" explores the ways in which Shakespeare was performed the past 200 years.

Two weeks until our monthly author event, 12 Nov. Brilliant book, funny, moving, very engaging. Look forward to discussion with Iqbal. Walk-ins welcome, but advance booking helps librarians in setting out chairs. https://t.co/ZGajK4sHPv

@monomaniablogs @BrightonCentre @musichallsoc @frankmatchamsoc Ooooo that’s lovely

Brixton tube station's new mural explores identity and power by Claudette Johnson

➡️ https://t.co/yL0EuGkYI1

A new artwork has appeared in Brixton tube station, as Turner Prize 2024 nominee Claudette Johnson has installed a new mural above the station entrance.

[Loughborough Road SW9 history @RoadSw9]

.@WNCemetery looking stunning in the autumn sun. Bumped into some of the lovely @fownc1837 people and found the graves of #musichall GH Macdermott, Pepper’s Ghost creator John Pepper and of course dropped by to see Cinquevalli.

[Loughborough Road SW9 history @RoadSw9]

@CHAYHO1 @thevicsoc Still a long way to go but at least it’s moved up the Lambeth Council agenda a bit and we are meeting with the project leads now they are in place. State of the building still very precarious and reluctance to invest in making it weathertight

[Loughborough Road SW9 history @RoadSw9]

Cormont Road school SE5 on the Top 10 list 2024. After much push back @thevicsoc and local campaigners will be getting a visit to see condition of outside of school soon. Still hopeful of getting full survey condition reports soon. New housing could be an option

@HistoryOfStokey @richardyoung71 @RachelTobyn Article by @londonoverlook talks of T Dunkley’s grandfather setting up business so maybe Henry was T’s uncle or cousin? https://t.co/gK93NZVexz

[Loughborough Road SW9 history @RoadSw9]

Interesting. Theophilus Dunkley had his undertakers in Westminster Bridge Road and is buried in Lambeth Cemetery. Two branches of the same family business serving different parts of London ?

[Stoke Newington History @HistoryOfStokey]

Henry Dunkley, Cemetery Stone & Marble Works, Stoke Newington High St next to Abney Park Cemetery. His name can be seen on many monuments in the cemetery, and not surprisingly he is buried in Abney Park near the funerary chapel along the footpath from the High St.

@chevid @BartsHeritage @NHSBartsHealth Scroll down button that says Book your tour takes you through to Eventbrite https://t.co/UAN0a3U2mo

[Loughborough Road SW9 history @RoadSw9]

Amazing tour of @BartsHeritage work on restoration of the Great Hall and Hogarth paintings @NHSBartsHealth north wing. So worth it. Be another 100 years before you can get up close to that ceiling again. Book tour here https://t.co/UAN0a3U2mo
