This is Aldebert Terrace in about 1912. The picture comes from Lambeth Council’s archive, with about 6,000 images available online at the Lambeth Landmark. Andrew Orange has put a picture of Tradescant Road from the same set up at our neighbouring Tradescant Road and South Lambeth site, and as he observes, the street lights are many fewer than we have now – but other than that, there is little in the buildings themselves to show the passage of time. The only real change is the faint outline of the building on the corner of Thorne Road and South Lambeth Road, now replaced by modern flats.
Curiously the picture below of St Stephen’s Terrace is dramatically less familiar – despite being taken 50 years later, just a couple of years before the old church was demolished in 1967.
Thanks for this Stefan. Its definitely worth checking out the Lambeth Landmark website, there are loads of Albert Square pictures and a couple of pre-war ones of Wilkinson Street as well as Aldebert and St Stephens.

Hey bro! I really loved that post http://www.testthisblogtoseeifitworks.com/ . Let me know if you write any more.
Howdy! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
