19th century shops
Can anyone suggest a source of information about shops on Sydenham Rd near the railway bridge in the 1840s?

There were few, if any, shops in the area around the railway bridge in the mid-1840s. By about 1848 only the pair of shops between the Railway Tavern and The Greyhound (321 and 323 Kirkdale) had been built.
At this time most of the shops in Sydenham were clustered round the junction of Kirkdale and Dartmouth Road. This was, until the 1860s, Sydenham's main shopping centre.
This extract, from the 1843 tithe map, shows the Kirkdale/Dartmouth Road shops in the top left-hand corner. The buildings at the bottom right are, with the exception of The Greyhound, all private houses.
