History of property/land in Lynton Road, SE1

HELP mature student needing historic information on the land/foundations of the victorian houses in Lynton Road in particular 1a Lynton Road. I have a large case study to carry out on the above property by the beginning of December 2009 and cannot find any information on the web regarding the land that the houses we're built on, whom built them etc.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Would the old railway yard have gone up that far? (the old bricklayers arms depot)

Thanks Jan according to the old maps that I have found the old railway did run paraell to Lynton Rd but i'm trying to find out when Lynton Road was put in place and when the houses were built and if anyone knows who they were built by.

Thanks once again

I dont know why Claire, but try Yates Estates, they are based still in London I think, They have been going for over a century and were property managers ( and possibly builders).Ask for their Head Office, they used to have one near london bridge...

When I moved into my house just off Lynton I was shown a clipping saying that 'the historic West estate' was up for sale (nine or so streets and businesses) and had been bought by the Council. I am guessing Lord West built his development on what I was told were the previous market gardens of Bermnodsey. My house is 1872 so I guess most are around that age...

I lived in Southwark Park Road as a youngster and am now writing the story of my life for that period. The property in Balacalva Roads Alma Grove and so on where built after the Crimea War circa 1840 and the Railway was opened in 1861 and run from South Bermondsey to the Bricklayers Arms relics of which can be seen at the old Southern Railway stables at the Junction with St James Road and Rolls Road and with this in mind I would think the proertys in Lynton Road were constructed between 1840 to 1860 the propertys in the middle of Lynton Road were owned by the Gomm Family whos history can be found on the web and I beleive they were later taken over by Bermondsey Borough Council but I stand to be corrected
Hope this helps in some way
