Waterloo
<p>Waterloo! Waterloo! F.K.A. Lambeth Marsh. Named after a famous battle - but it was given to the bridge before the train station. From then on it’s a very railways sort of story, UNTIL the post war redevelopment of the Southbank. An alternative theatre land, the salacious Roupells, THAT lonely house and the birth of the circus (acrobats and that - not the one you’re listening to).</p><p></p><p>Follow us on Instagram @averylocalhistory for some visual accompaniment to the episode</p>

Peckham
<p>T.I.T. and a Saxon<strong> </strong>place<strong> </strong>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!</p><p></p><p>Follow us on Instagram @averylocalhistory for some visual accompaniment to the episode</p>

Camberwell
<p>What's in the name..? There’s a few theories, but one part they all agree on is that there was a well. Better health, an historic knees up, asylums to workhouses (workhouses to asylums?), an embarrassment of parks, notable residents from the first black woman to have a BBC radio show to Florence and her machine. Top boozers, TOP scran, and uncovering the Earl’s Sluice (our lost waterway for this segment)</p><p></p><p>Follow us on Instagram @averylocalhistory for some visual accompaniment to the episode</p>
