London: A Very Local History

Peckham


Listen Later

T.I.T. and a Saxon place name - is it taken from the river or the hills though? In the rest of the episode we track an increasingly familiar residential and transport boom, from retail wonderland to uncertain prosperity. And what of the great RYE - with a history taking in wild beast shows, whale bone arches and PoW camps. We’ll also wander down Rye lane and enjoy the murals of Peckham, PLUS meet our first significant lost river!
