Peckham Estate | Peckham | 1980s Estates | South London | TN-SL-065-030 

Nice shallow grave being dug at 1.49

What I found with nearly all of these housing estates across London, was the interior of the flats were very spacious and uniquely laid out. The architects made great use of space.

You know what, growing up there it was jokes. We didn't have much but there was a sense of community.

This isn't even 'Peckham Estate' as the title implies. This estate is actually called Gloucester Grove Estate which was adjacent to the North Peckham estate... this is how I remember Peckham, growing up

My sincere respect to all parents who raised their children in this environment.

I'm originally from Peckham...this is how I remember it.. Peckham front line used be on the main high street. Bouncing Ball Club was also on the main high street... Good Times and Bad. Left Peckham mid 80s moved to the Midlands much better.

I always think about this estate I wish there was cameras more widely and easily available whilst it was up. They way the media in general loved to show the Heygate/Aylesbury estates but there’s really not a lot online about the North Peckham and Gloucester grove estates. Image all the films that would have been filmed on here.

Worked the north Peckham estate in the 80s for BT . There were people there that hadn't been on holiday as a family for years as someone always had to be there as they would have had nothing to come back to if they all went . It was a toilet !

Some nice classic cars on display ones you don't see these days!!

UK had the most beautiful council estates but London tops the list . Loved walking through them when visiting friends who lived there and they are so nice inside

I am from South West London but not far from Peckham , forty five minutes by train and loved going to Peckham and remember many times passing the Peckham Estate

Peckham was my home town, I have fond memories during the 70/80's it was rough at times, especially the north Peckham estate but it was generally pretty safe. As a kid and then a teen I could go pretty much anywhere with no problem day or night. I left in 1989 and moved to Bolton lol but I have to say watching videos of modern Peckham it is easy to see why people think it's a shithole. Peckham was never a posh place but you can really see the deprivation now, with graffiti and trash everywhere it looks like downtown Detroit. Depressing.

I lived on Shanklin Way from 83-88....it sure was an experience. The flat was nice though!

At 1.20-2.30 that is the Gloucester Grove estate. I used to work on all 3 in the mid 80s , Camden Estate, North Peckham Estate and Gloucester Grove Estate, all next to each other.

So this is mostly Gloucester Grove Estate not Peckham Estate but anyways... we moved out of Peckham Estate when I was a Tot and over into my nans house on Elm Grove for a bit until we moved right out of London altogether. I've got loads of pictures of inside the flat on the Estate, not too many memories unfortunately, Just everyone was auntie/uncle and one particular lady (nanny finkern?) who gave me polos or 20p if I called her a f**king old bag! I was maybe 3 or 4 years old, to give you an idea of what it was like on the estate. I used to love Peckham, my uncle had an army surplus store in the indoor market off Rye Lane (he called himself crazy Trev, and to be fair he was a bit nuts) I used to love jumping the train on a Friday to go and see him but would die of embarrassment having to ask for 'crazy Trev' lol. The market traders used to park on my nans drive and all paid tribute when she died. Peckham used to be an amazing place but like all places its changed, I stopped going when my nan and uncle died.

Where's Del boy?

BURGESS PARK OY.YOY BUTTERFLY WALK ...

THE NORTH PECKHAM ESTATE. It was a nightmare. Streets in the sky. They built the slums of the late 20th century.

The North Peckham, nasty, nasty place - had a g/f from there, she wouldn't got out after 7, too scared, mini cabs stopped going after two drivers robbed and killed, Cator St, seen on the film, just a few yard yards from where 10 year old Damilola Taylor was murdered. Mostly been demolished and replaced with smaller, less oppressive blocks, and the dangerous sticksman filled corridors and passages destroyed

This was the street route to school, to Gloucester grove primary the other route was across 4 different estates never touching road until the schoolgate

Says a lot that only one bus took you from the Gloucester out of Peckham, the 63.

I used to live there up until i was a toddler. Its improved massively over the years, but i'm ngl its still dangerous to walk through that estate. I wouldn't recommend if your not familiar with the layout.

God knows have much a 1 bedroom flat there would cost today? I remember when Peckham used to be cheap as chips

it looks better then than it does now

Nelson Mandela House looks a bit different in real life :)

I'm from this area of south London. ..this estate used to be a serious no go area....still a lot of crime there

No one ever went inside north peckham estate that was from North peckham, not even ppl from Peckham would go in there out of fear.

Was the area just bad or were the housing conditions bad too did the council not help

They used to call that estate skag city back in the 80s 😂

Did they knock it down

What wrong with north peckham estate

Bought a lotta gear of that Estate what a mistake that and Aylesbury Estate was.

0:14 man who runs out of no where off the grass then jumps to stand there like JASON the serial killer. OOOOOoooo

Some homies digging a grave at 1:49

...grim

I lived on this estate until 1979. It became an absolute shit hole. It has been demolished now.

Peck has always beenj a dodgy manor.

Nowhere looks as bad as Yorkshire

Knock all the lovely terrace houses down, kick out the indigenous people, put in the 'Windrush generation, what possibly could go wrong?
