The main aim of the watching brief had been to identify evidence for the Roman road from London to Lewes, which is thought to follow the approximate line of Ivydale Road. It was established that the site had been extensively truncated by the cellars and foundations of five 19th-century houses that had occupied the site prior to their destruction by a V1 rocket in 1944. Remnants of the original land surface survived in the areas between the cellars and in the area of the former gardens, but there was no evidence for the Roman road, nor any other archaeological features. Following the demolition of the bomb-damaged houses, the site was levelled and three pre- fabricated houses (‘pre-fabs’) were built on the site, erected on concrete ground slabs. The last of the three ‘pre-fabs’ had recently been demolished and the only remains associated with them was a small area of concrete hard-standing and drains on the street frontage. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology 117-119 Ivydale Road, Nunhead, London Borough of Southwark: Archaeological Watching Brief 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In February 2013, an archaeological watching brief was carried out by Cotswold Archaeology during the excavation of footings for a new residential development, being undertaken by Baxter Homes at 117-119 Ivydale Road, Nunhead, London Borough of Southwark (NGR: TQ 35723 75599; Fig. 1). The development comprised the demolition of a single-storey pre-fabricated building, that last of a group of three that had been built on the site of houses destroyed by a V1 rocket during WWII, and the construction of five two-storey terraced houses with gardens. 1.2 The watching brief was requested by Dr Christopher Constable, Southwark Borough Council’s Archaeological Advisor (SBCAA) and was attached as a condition to planning consent (planning ref. 12/AP/1921). The site had previously been the subject of a desk-based assessment prepared by L-P: Archaeology (LPA 2012), which was submitted in support of the planning application. This established that Roman cremation burials had been found in the general area and it was considered that there was a potential for archaeological remains, particularly those associated with the projected line of the Roman road from London to Lewes, to occur within the site. 1.3 The watching brief was carried out accordance with the approved Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) prepared by CA (2013) and followed best practice, as set out in the Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and guidance for an archaeological watching brief (IfA 2008) and the English Heritage procedural documents Management of Archaeological Projects 2 (EH 1991) and Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE): Project Manager’s Guide (EH 2006). The site 1.4 The site, a roughly square block of land covering 0.07ha, is situated on the east side of Ivydale Road, in the suburb of Nunhead, London Borough of Southwark. Most of the houses in the road were built in the late 1880s and 1890s, when the suburb was developed, although a number of these were destroyed by a V1 rocket during WWII, to be replaced by more modern buildings. The houses that originally stood on the current site were amongst those that suffered extensive blast damage from the rocket’s explosion and had to be demolished. They were replaced by three single- 3 © Cotswold Archaeology 117-119 Ivydale Road, Nunhead, London Borough of Southwark: Archaeological Watching Brief storey pre-fabricated buildings (‘pre-fabs’), the last of which was recently demolished to make way for the new development. The site is situated on flat ground at c. 31m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) and backs on to the playing fields of Haberdasher Askes. 1.5 The geology comprises Cretaceous rocks of the London Clay Formation, comprising sandy and silty clay ( www.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex , accessed 28 January 2013), overlain locally by Quaternary Head deposits (LPA 2012). Archaeological background 1.6 The site, which has been the subject of a desk-based assessment prepared by L-P: Archaeology (LPA 2012), partly lies within one of Southwark Borough Council’s archaeological priority zones (APZ), with the western half lying within the one that covers the projected route of the Roman road from London to Lewes, in Sussex. 1.7 The route of this road originated in Peckham, where it branched off and headed south from Watling Street, the Roman road running from London to Canterbury (preserved in the modern city by Old Kent Road). The road has been recorded archaeologically around Asylum Road, which lies some 1.5km north of the development site, and in Nash Road, c. 600m to the south-east. The projected line of this former thoroughfare runs along Ivydale Road as it passes the development site. 1.8 The Greater London Historic Environment Record (HER) records two archaeological findspots in the surrounding area. These comprise a Lower Palaeolithic Levallois flint flake found in Nunhead Cemetery, c. 600m to the west of the site, and the discovery in a garden ( c. 1735) of two Roman urned cremations, accompanied by a simpulum (a ladle to make libations in ritual or sacrificial ceremonies) and five to six lachrymatories (small vessels which contained perfumes or unguents). 1.9 Nunhead Cemetery, which lies to the west of Ivydale Road, was designed by James Bunstone Bunning for the London Cemetery Company and was opened in 1840. It covers c. 20ha and was landscaped with lawns, pathways and stands of trees. The cemetery was closed in 1969 and was neglected for many years, but in 1987 it was designated a London Site of Nature Conservation Importance and has since undergone extensive restoration and improvement. 4 © Cotswold Archaeology 117-119 Ivydale Road, Nunhead, London Borough of Southwark: Archaeological Watching Brief 1.10 The cemetery is depicted on a map of the area dating to the 1850s and on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1878, at which date the area now occupied by Ivydale Road was undeveloped and was an open block of farmland between the cemetery and the railway. Ivydale Road is first depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1898 and forms part of the suburban development of the area in the closing decades of the 19th century. Archaeological objectives 1.11 The objectives of the archaeological works were: • to monitor groundworks, and to identify, investigate and record all significant buried archaeological deposits revealed on the site during the course of the development

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

Many of our family history resources were produced by the parish vestries and date from the 1600s to 1900. At that time the vast majority of this area was not part of London and you will find references to locations from Bankside to Camberwell as being in the County of Surrey. The three Metropolitan Boroughs of Southwark, Bermondsey and Camberwell were formed in 1900 and were part of the County of London. In 1965 these three boroughs merged to become the London Borough of Southwark, one of the 32 boroughs that now form Greater London.

    Harriet Harman MP for Camberwell and Peckham Nunhead and Queen’s Road Branch Report June 2017 — July 2019 Helping people in Nunhead and Queen’s Road People from Nunhead and Queen’s Road seek my help for many different reasons including housing problems, immigration and visa problems and getting the benefits they’re entitled to. Often I am able to cut through red tape, challenge an injustice and make progress for them. Since June 2017 I have helped 344 Nunhead and Queen’s Road residents for the first time. Here are some examples: A pensioner living on Kimberly Avenue contacted me because her gas supply was cut off for safety reasons and she was left without heating or hot water for 3 days. I wrote to the council to ask for urgent repairs to be carried out and her boiler was fixed soon after. I was contacted by a Ghanaian student who could not start his pharmacy degree because he had not received his permanent residence card. I wrote to UKVI to ask them to issue this document without delay and it was issued soon after. He has now enrolled at university. A council tenant living on Montague Square contacted me after her fence was damaged in Storm Doris. Southwark Council told her she was responsible for fixing the fence, but she believed they were. I wrote to the council and they repaired the fence. A concerned resident contacted me concerning illegal dumping on a plot of land next to council garages on Harlescott Road. I asked the council to act to stop this happening again and they contacted the landowner and instructed them to remove the rubbish and secure the land.
