Eagle, this thread [ http://tinyurl.com/czoc9e ] has some information on the development of Venner Road. The road was named and laid out in 1877 and building began a year or so later. 1-27 Venner Road were originally known as 1-14 Grosvenor Terrace (they were re-numbered in 1891). Most of these hous...

They are not available online, Eagle. You will have to visit the Lewisham Local History Centre
If it is just a simple search you need it may be worth emailing them.
Also I'm pretty sure there are no registers for the war years.

It's actually not a church, Ulysses, but the tower of a house on Longton Grove. This shows the house looking down Longton Grove from Westwood Hill: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/86/254271059_95bbe00e85.jpg This view has the distinction of having been painted by Camille Pissarro .

Are you sure it wasn't Prospect Road? According to Kelly's Directories Frederick George was living at 52 Prospect Road during the 1920s and 1930s (I don't have access to post-war records from home). This map shows Prospect Road which was, indeed, a dead-end: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3320/34122...

Scott George, you have me completely baffled by your mention of Prospect Place in the 1950s. Could you tell me a little more. For example, where was it in relation to, say, Rowland Grove or Dallas Road and, if you wish, what was the name of the family who lived at number 52, and how long did they li...

The land on which The Parade was built appears have been part of the grounds of the Fox and Hounds, which was rebuilt in about 1891. High Street Buildings (also on Fox and Hounds land) was built in 1896 and I suspect that the brewery (or whoever owned the land) completed this development by building...

It would be an appalling act of vandalism if this shopfront has been destroyed. I guess it dates from the late 1920s, when George Machray moved his business from 12 Sydenham Road (he began trading there in about 1905) to 16 Sydenham Road. This is what we might have lost: http://farm4.static.flickr.c...

I'm sorry, Paxton, I know vey little about Beaulah Hill, and even that has been gleaned mainly from a couple of local history books. I tend to concentrate on my own territory (Sydenham and Forest Hill) with occasional forays into the Crystal Palace, mainly because Sydenham people were so closely inv...

Is it a tributary to the Quaggy in Lewisham that ran parrallel with the High Street outside Chiesmans I don't think so. The Quaggy flows from the direction of Lee Green and is a tributary of the Ravensbourne, which it joins somewhere near Lewisham station. The Ravensbourne runs close to Bromley Roa...

Sydenham on Streetmaps
Google Streetmaps has gone live, and the views of Sydenham are pretty impressive, although Sydenham Road seems to have been photographed at dusk.
